A favourite throughout the East’ on account of the fra+
grance of the bloom; but said to be native of only the
warmest parts of India, An assertion universally repeated,
put without any precise authority, that we can find. No
author speaking of it pretends to lave seen it; or even
heard of its being seen, in any other than a cultivated state,
ae
VOL. I. B Sener road “i ‘i
Rumphius remarks, that the plant thrives about the houses:
in Amboyna, but soon disappears, when these are desertedv
Thunberg and Loureiro mention its cultivation in the gar-
dens of China and Cochinchina, but as an exotic.
Dr. Roxburgh, among his unpublished drawings, has a
Jasmine, found spontaneous in thickets on the Coast of
Coromandel, which he takes for the type of the species ;
but which appears to us far too distinct to be readily
admitted as such; having a many-flowered trichotomous
inflorescence; a six-cleft calyx and corolla, with the seg-
ments of the latter tapering to a point, divaricate bractes
beneath the divisions of the panicle, and a foliage of an ap-
pearance different from that of Sambac. .
With us the Arabian Jasmine thrives best in the bark-bed
of the stove, where it continues to bloom for six or seven
months in succession; and when led along the frame of the
building, attains 20 feet or more in length. The leaf has
been assimilated by some to that of both the orange and
Jemon-trees. ‘The flower drops easily from the calyx, and
in decaying changes to a deep purple hue; the limb is under
an ineh in diameter, with segments rather shorter than the
tube. Formerly this shrub was imported by the italian-
warehousemen from the Mediterranean; but this being en-
grafted on the common Jasmine, was esteemed of less value
than that from the layer, on account of the disproportionate
(and thence unsightly) growth of the stock and eraft. Its
Cultivation with us is recorded as far back as the year 1665.
Clusius tells us that it was received at Florence from Cairo
is a novelty, in the year 1660; the date probably . of its
standing in that part of Europe, where it has become unt-
versal. The large fult variety, known among gardeners
by the name of the “ Tuscan Jasmine,” acquires a much
broader disk with a shorter tube, by the filling of the flower.
The bloom of this is strung by the females of India in the
evening of the day into chaplets and necklaces. Sambac is
the Arabian appellation of our plant; which, according to
Alpinus, is in great request at Cairo. ils |

The tendency of the present species to unite with
SrruTHIoLa, is curiously evinced by a transition of the
more usual petallike scales, into four small inorganic
bodies, representing as many stamens with short filaments
and adnate yellow anthers; as well as by the subsiding of
all the real stamens below the orifice of the tube.
Linneus, in a later work, has combined this species
from two of distinct genera, imto which he had for-
; BA.
merly divided it. Willdenow, in his edition of the Species
Plantarum, has perplexed his record of the plant, by in-
troducing into it synonymy the oppositifolia of Thunberg,
which bas downy leaves; as well as by separating from
it the Jevigata cf that author and of Wendland, which
belong to it. We have followed the editors of the Hortus
Kewensis, in terming that the corolla in this plant, which
others have termed the calyx.
The specimens we have seen, have been from one foot to
tio feet high. Leaves in some nearly ovate and shorter,
in others oblong and narrower; of a glaucous hue, which
proceeds from a whitish efflorescence, appearing like
shagreen when inspected through a magnifying-glass,
Flowers light yellow, rendered nearly white on the out-
side, by hairs of that colour. Pollen deep yellow. Style
and stigma white, below the lower anthers. In the Bank:
sian Herbarium ve find spontaneous specimens with the
branches, floral leaves, and stamenlike bodies of a purple
colour, such as they are described by Bergius and Burman:
but differing from the present in no other respect. The
whole plant seems devoid of any peculiar scent. Native of
the Cape of Good Hope; from whence it was sent to the
Kew Gardens, by Mr. Masson, in 1783, Belongs to the
ereen-house, requiring little care, and is easily multiplied by
cuttings. Should be planted in peat-mould. | Blooms in
winter and summer.

This shrub, when four or five feet high and in full bloom,
which it usually is about November, forms the most singular
and pleasing ornament for the conservatory that we know
of, especially when care has been taken to top the branches,
so as to render it close and bushy. It is a hardy ereen-
house-plant; easily multiplied by cuttings ; thriving onl
in peat-earth, Introduced by Mr. George Hibbert, in
whose botanical establishment at Clapham it was raised in
the year 1800, from seed sent from New South Wales, of
which and Van Diemen’s Land, it is a native. The Bank-
sian Herbarium has specimens from both countries, in.
which we perceived nothing that suggested the idea of the
two plants belonging to distinct species.

Stem of a rusty brown colour: Jeaves deep green on the
upper somewhat convex surface, whence the pubescence
at last disappears, leaving it roughened by the small glan-
dular promiuent points on which each hair had stood. The
two floral leaves are sometimes bent.so far back as to em-
brace the flower between them in the manner of au invo-
lucre, «The coherent petals of the corolla, when fallen from
the calyx, separate by a space at the base, about equal to
that by which they diverge at the top. In the Banksian
Herbarium we find several species of this genus from dif-
ferent parts of Terra Australis, none of which, according
to Mr. Brown, grow in any part of those regions lying
within the tropic.
- After some contestation, Corr@a seems to be now una-
nimously allotted to Jussieu’s natural order of Rutacex
(Diosmex. Brown in Bot. of Terra Australis: appended to
Hinders’s Voyage. ).

- A native of China; from whence the now so well-known.
purple variety was brought to France by Monsieur Blancard,
a merchant of Marseilles, in 1789. To France we are in-
debted: for its introduction into this country, where, in
1795, it was considered as new by the nurserymen, and
sold at a very high price. The’ other varieties have ap-
peared subsequently, and from other quarters. The species
had however certainly been cultivated at Chelsea in 1764,
by’ Miller, who received it from Nimpu; but was niost
probably soon lost, since we do not find it mentioned in
the first edition of the Hortus Kewensis.
The receptacle of the flower, in the specimens which have
been inspected in european gardens, has been found to be
clothed with chaff-like bractes; while that.of those from
India, in various Herbariums, is said to be naked. . Hence
both. the specific identity, as well as the admissibility of
the former into a genus, of which a naked receptacle is. a
character, haye been questioned. _ But from subsequent
observation it appears now to be held, that the chaff is ad-
ventitious, and an effect of luxuriance; so that, on this
head at least, its present rank is no longer disputed.
When cultivated in Provence, the florets are said to be
studded with yellow powdery highly odoriferous particles,
which disappear in the colder climate of Paris ; where, as
we are told, the florets have a greater tendency to retain
their tubular or, as the gardeners term it, “ quilled” form
and not to open into thongs or ligule. In that state the
appearance of the flower is considerably altered, the paler
opaque exterior of the florets presenting itself, instead of
the deeper-coloured bright interior. No flower varies more
im colour, whence it has become by its numerous hues a prin-
-cipal decoration of our conservatories in the dreary months
of November and December. It survives in the open air
our severest winters, in any soil (except a very wet one)
and situation; but succeeds best when dressed and attended
to; seldom expanding in perfection unless under shelter
and in warmth. <A favourite with the florists throughout
India; but particularly in China, where it is kept in a
dwarf state, and the flowers treated much in the same way
as directed by our gardeners for the management of the
Carnation. We have heard that the single-rayed plant is in.
our gardens, but have not seen it: The bloom, when smelled
near, reminds us of the Chamomile, of which by som
atrthors-it has-been-esteemed-a-congener. ae
We are told, if cuttings about four or five inches long
are taken from the upper part of the stems in May or June,
‘and planted in garden-mould, under a hand-glass, in the
usual way, they will take root and flower the same season in
a dwarf state; and’ if only one flower is left to stand, thie
bloom will be- considerably larger than when more remain. /

long and very generally admired in the Herbarium, first ap- .
cared in this country in 1790; having been sent by Mr.
Tasson from its native country, the Cape of Good Hope, to
. the Kew Gardens. It has however never been known to
flower with us till last December, when several fine speci-
mens showed their bloom together at Hammersmith, in the
VOL, I, tiie as er
nursery of Messrs. Lee and Kennedy; by whose liberal
communication of them, we are enabled to present our
readers with the first figure from the living plant yet pub-
lished.
The genus, as far as it is yet known, belongs wholly to the
neighbourhood of the Cape of Good Hope; unless indeed
Tapernta should at last be found to be of it. The species ap-.
pear to bear the same relation to the rest of the Ensate, that
Dracana, Yucca, and their kindred frutescent genera, do to
the herbaceous Liliacee. Botanists vary as to the situation
they ascribe to the germen. In the present species the
upper fourth part of that organ is evidently detached from
and within the tube of the corolla, and consequently supe-
rior; while the remainder is as plainly grown to and united
with the tube, and therefore inferior. In corymbosa it is
simply inferior. We mean to be precise on this point, as we
stand so far in contradiction to some very eminent botanists.
In the four species known to us a peculiar sameness per-
vades the foliage of them all; but the reverse is as remark-
able in the bloom. ruticosa and partita are not yet known
to be in our gardens, The latter is curious for its hexape-
taloid corolla, with long linear-spatulate segments; and was
first recorded in the Annals of Botany (v. 1. p. 237) from
very perfect spontaneous specimens in Mr. G. Hibbert’s
Herbarium. Monsieur Ventenat (in Dec. nov. gen. plant. 1.)
has separated corymbosa under the generic name of Niventa:.
a separation in our judgment, to say the least of it, most
inexpedient. On the authority of Monsieur Bruguitres, the
stem of maura is said to yield a strongly saccharine juice.
We suspect that it is a plant requiring the growth of a
considerable number of years before it flowers. In Mr. Grif-
- fin’s Collection there is a specimen, at this time little less
than five feet high, which has not yet flowered. It thrives —
best in peat-earth, and requires no greater degree of warmth
than will prevent the frost affecting it. When the flowers
are terminal and sessile, the upper leaves extend beyond
them; but when these, as in our specimen, are elevated
upon a common peduncle or stem, they generally extend
beyond the leaves. Thunberg found it flowering in April
and May on the sides of the hills near False Bay. ‘The green
part of the flower dries yellow.

The arrangement of this perplexing and extensive genus
by Mr. Dryander, in the late edition of the Hortus Kewensis,
appears to us a display of as much acute discrimination
and distinct definition as has been ever made within equal
Scope. It is a model, and we suspect will not soon be
equalled.

Converging into a kind of corymb. Its slender capillary
foliage standing on narrow membraneous petioles, is set
simultaneously into a very peculiar vibratory motion by the
slightest impulse. The plant flowers in all seasons of the
year, Introduced from the Cape of Good Hope by Mr,

from the same quarter, it requires to be sheltered from

Three very nearly related, but distinct species, seem to
nave been confounded under Corxopsis reptans. First, the
Mhean plant with simple ovate lower, and ternate upper
aves, deeply serrate, with oblong tecth, and a flower
laving an indented ray; second, that of Sloane’s work -
(Hist. 1. 261) repeatedly, but erroneously adduced for its
‘ynonym; but in which none of the leaves are ovate simple
and deeply serrate, but uniformly ternate and shallowly
serrate, with short triangular teeth: third, our present
mcisd, where the leaves are all either quinate or ternate,
eeply cut, and the ray of the flower pointed and quite en-
. 3
tire, Of Linneus’s plant we can only judge from what he
himself has told us, and from the figure in Dr. Smith’s
“ Spicilegium,” which we should have taken for our plant,
but for the indented ray, no simple ovate leaf being shown ©
there. Of the species described and figured by Sloane, a —
specimen sent from Jamaica by Dr. Houston, is deposited —
‘in the Banksian Herbarium, as the Linnean reptas; so.are
two others from the same quarter presented by Mr. Shake- —
speare, but these in truth belong to the present species,
and are distinct from both the preceding.
Our plant had been raised from seed about three years
ago, and attained the height of eight feet, supporting
itself by twining round its prop. Corymbs generally five-
flowered, terminating the branchlets that issue from the
axils of the upper leaves: flowers of a golden yellow, dark-
ened in the disk by brown half-extruded anthers : peduncles
sometimes divided above the middle. Stem about the thick-
ness of a large wheaten straw near the base. Upper Jeaflet
of the leaves about 2 inches long, Haviag seen only one
living specimen, and that under very artificial culture, we
have not ventured to call it wolubilis, although apparently
the fittest name.—A native of Jamaica, and perhaps of
other parts of the West Indies. Messrs. Colville, to whom —
its mtroduction is due, have na recollection of whence —
they obtained the seed from which it was raised. Requires —
to be kept in the bark-bed of the stove, where it flowers

Of this handsome species, we know of no figure extant
in any work yet published. It is a native of + ie Cape of
Good Hope, and was introduced by Mr. Masson in 1792.
Our plant was about 3 feet high; stem about the thick-
hess of a large pen, with many divided slender pliant
branches surrounding it at a point high above the root,’
and where the white silky pubescence is conspicuously
thicker and longer; the branchlets are terminated by single
or double racemes, each bearing 8-12 scentless gold-coloured
Jlowers, parted by hairy bractes about 4 lines long, with
black sphacelate points: petals about half an inch long ;
style when magnified pubescent, about equal to the germen:
calyx sitting close to the lower part of the corolla, with a
remarkable concave or dinted base; /eaves about the third
of an inch wide at most. The boundaries of the genus have
been as yet but incompletely defined, and require revision.
The Lrparta hirsuta of Meoench’s work, above quoted,
is a very different species, but not Borsonia ¢rinervia of
Bergius, as he presumes. This flowered at Kew in 1794, and
was deposited along with a spontaneous Cape specimen in
the Banksian Herbarium, by the same title that Moench has
- given it; but was not recorded in the late edition of
the Hortus Kewensis; the Lrparra hirsuta of which is
Thunberg’s and the present plant. So that a new name re-
mains to be adopted for Mcench’s species, which is not ‘yet
published in any other work known to us than his own,
* Our plant has a forked stigma, a ‘calyx that does not
answer to that of its generic character, nor are three of the
anthers more shortly stipitate than the others; but still we
believe it to: be a good Liparta. The drawing was made
from a fine plant that flowered last January, at the nursery
of Messrs. Whitley, Brame, Milne, and Co. Parson’s Green,
- Fulham; where it had been raised from seed.

The present is the only representation of this rare and sin-
Sular plant yet published. The species was first recorded
and described by Professor Vahl in his “Symbole bota-
nice,” from specimens sent to him from the danish West-
Indian island of Sainte Croix. In the living state it seems
© have been unknown in Europe, until it appeared in the
collection of the Comtesse de Vandes, into which it had
fen introduced by Mr. R. A. Salisbury, who had received
© seed from the West Indies. It has not found a place in .
the late edition of. the Hortus Kewensis; and has been ge-
Rerally mistaken for Ipomaa repanda, a very distinct species,
Willdenow has marked it as an annual, of course at a ven-
ture, seeing that he has no authority for so doing in Vabl,
He sole source of his information concerning the plant. It

base, just above which it divides into. numerous slender —
flexile branches; towards the ends of which the flower-
stalks are produced from the axils of the leaves, sometimes —
drooping, at others upright. When placed in the bark-bed —
of the hot-house it grows with great luxuriance, and may —
be led along a trellis-work to.a great length in all direc- ~
tions. The bloom is of a deep orange-scarlet colour, about —
an inch long, with the diameter nearly twice as large as
that of a crow-quill, beginning to appear about February
and continuing for some weeks in succession. This is orna-
mental, and approaches that of coccinea; but differs at first —
sight by its very remarkable limb, a part which seems not
to have been correctly made out by Vahl in his dried plant,
a duplicate of which he has sent to the Banksian Herbarium.
The side-lobes of the leaves are sometimes horizontally divari-
. cate, at others convergent, but scarcely ever confluent with
the middle one; and are sometimes indented, sometimes —
rounded and entire at their lower angle or earlet.—We
have not heard, that it has yet been multiplied in, any
way; nor that it has produced seed.—Our drawing: was
made at the botanic establishment of the Lady we have
mentioned above, at Bayswater, in February last.

At first sight our plant appeared to resemble so closely
Several both american and european species, with which
We Were already acquainted, that we hardly expected.
to ind it, as we did’upon a more attentive inspection, keep
Specifically aloof from all which had been recorded in an
Work known to us; and that it had not found its way into —
the extensive Herbariums at Sir Joseph Banks’s or Mr. Lam-
ert's. Not to rely upon ourselves, we had recourse to more
than one learned botanist, who liberally communicated the
Tesult of their researches, which agreed with our own. It
"St appeared amongst us about three or four years ago, in
© collection of the Comtesse de Vandes, whose expe-
Menced and industrious gardener (after whom we have
Called it in the english name) had raised it from seed, which
© 18 almost sure came from South America, and he suspects
D2
from Buenos Ayres. He tells us it is easily cultivated, and
as easily multiplied by parting the root; that it will do in’
the greenhouse, where however it should be considered as
rather tender. When in flower, which it is about Novem-
ber and December, it reminds us of the well-known Aster
alpinus. The, rootstock rises into a fleshy and ultimately
brown stem, resembling that of Colewort, but not. thicker
than a common quill; sometimes nearly 8 inches in height,
bearing a closish head of /eaves, from among which several
Jlower-stems, each terminated by a single flower, and pro-
ducing from below a few distant one-flowered leafy stalks
placed in various directions. _ Leaves glaucous and viscous,
with a disagreable smell like that perceptible in some of the
Scropuutarta (Figworts): on the rootstock these are broad|
etiolate, with an obovate blade at times more than an inch
in breadth, loosely serrate at the sides, entire at the top;
on the flower-stem and stalks several times narrower, entire
and sessile. The florets of the lilac-coloured ray are rather
broader than usual in this genus, where the almost capillary
narrowness of these affords a chief mark of its separation
from Asrer. ‘The drawing was made in the garden of the
Lady we have mentioned above, at Bayswater, We saw
several others, but not in flower, at Mr. Gray’s nursery
Kensington Gore. If.any one whose eye this may meet,
should be acquainted with any circumstance relating to this
plant that has escaped us, and should think proper to com-
municate the information to Mr, Ridgway, the publisher, or
to Mr. Edwards, it will be inserted in ‘a subsequent Number.

We have two varieties of this species in our gardens: the
one with ovate-oblong undivided acuminate leaves intro-
duced from Jamaica; the other, the present plant, intro-
duced in 1780 by Mr. Benjamin Bewick, from South Ame-
rica. We have also two other species of the genus, presently
distinguishable by the foliage, but very similar in the bloom
to each other. All of them grow in a loose wide-spreading
way, so as to take up much room, but Malvaviscus far more
so than the present; of which we have never seen any
specimen that has exceeded four feet. When its flowers,
which stand in the axils of the upper leaves of the stem and
branches, are numerous, it is very ornamental, more so than
either of the other two, In Malvaviscus, which is the
largest growing, and of the oldest date of the three with
us, the foliage is of a dark shining green and rough, in the
present grey and clouded, being covered with a short,
close and soft pubescence. The genus was named Acnanra
by Dr. Solander from a Greek word ‘that refers to the
flower’s not opening; which it never does;more than is
shown in our figure of the present species. A good repre-
sentation of the variety 6, willbe found in “ ‘Thompson’s
botany displayed,” a periodical work of, great merit begun
in. 1798, but which has not, (from what cause we do not
know,) proceeded beyond a fourth fasciculus. This variety
has never fallen in our way; but.the. present is very com-
mon in our stoves, where 1t requires to be kept both sum-
mer and winter, or else will not flower im perfection. \Pro-
pagated by cuttings. Blooms late in’ the autumn. ‘The’
leaves are 3-4 inches long, and 9-3-broad.. The drawing
was made at the nursery of Messrs, Colville, in the King’s
Road, Chelsea. * ee S :

_ The separation of Camenua from Tues, although prior
to the present prevailing caprice for frittering down useful
Senera into useless, appears to us too inexpedient, if hot in-
Convenient, to be continued, especially since it is known that
the filaments of the latter are at least partially connate. Were
Oth to be ietained, the present plant might have been per-
aps more appropriately placed under THEa. It is of recent .
Antroduction into Europe, having been first received from
hina’ (to which it belongs as well as Japan) in 1811, by
the Court of Directors of the E. I. C. in the Cuffnels,
Capt. Wellbank. We believe it first flowered in the con-
Servatory of Sir Joseph Banks, after whose Lady it has
€en named in the late edition of the Hortus Kewensis.
ur drawing was made from a plant that flowered last au-
tunm in Mr, Griffin’s collection at South Lambeth; hut
which we had not an opportunity.of inspecting for descrip-
tion, after Mr. Edwards had drawn it. It is of quick
growth, attaining the height of about 8 feet, smaller in all
parts than japonica, but larger than TuzA, with round branches
of a brownish red colour, deciduously villous, pliant, and
weak. The number of petals is very variable, as well as
the indentation of their circumference. We have extracted
the following notice of it from Sir George Staunton’s ac-.
count of Lord Macartney’s embassy to China. ‘A plant.
“« very like the tea flourished, at this time, on the sides and
“the very tops of mountains, where the soil consisted of
“little more than fragments of stone, crumbled into a sort:
“of coarse earth by the joint action of the sun and rain,
“ The Chinese call this plant cha-whaw, or flower of tea, on
“account of the resemblance of one to the other, and be-
* cause its: petals, as well as the entire flowers of arabian
“ Jessamine (the subject of the first article of the present
* work), are sometimes mixed among the teas, in order to
“ increase their fragrance. This plant, the cha-whaw, is
“the Camellia sasanqua of the botanists, and yields a nut,
“ from whence is expressed an esculent oil, equal to the
*“ best which comes from Florence. It is cultivated on this
‘account in vast abundance; and is particularly valuable
“< from the facility of its culture, in situations fit for little
“else.” We cannot help suspecting that the Tura oleosa
of Loureiro, which he tells us grows wild about Can-
ton, is the same plant, although he calls its peduncles three-
flowered, probably meaning that they grow three together;
a circumstance that does not square with Thunberg’s ac-
count of Sasangua, nor with the figure in Sir George Staun-
ton’s work, nor with the plant at Mr. Griffin’s; yet we
were told, that at Sir Tédeok Banks’s, two and three flowers
were certainly produced from the axils of some of the leaves.
Loureiro says the oil is used for lamps, as well as for culi-
nary purposes; but that it is inferior to olive-oil. The plant
belongs to the greenhouse, and will soon be common ; but
is far inferior to japonica in beauty. Thunberg says that the
matt women use a decoction of the leaves to wash thein
air,

One of the oldest stove-plants in our collections, havin
been introduced from the West Indies by Mr. Bentinck, af-
terwards Lord Portland, in 1690. It has been found wild
by Plumier and Jacquin in the Island of Martinique, grow-
ing only in the closest groves and thickets, where it winds
itself round the trees for support. According to Swartz
and Miller, it is known among the english colonists in the
West Indies by the name of “ the Water-Lemon:” Jacquin
and Browne say by that of “the Honeysuckle;” the latter
attributing the former appellation to maliformis, a closely
allied species. Among the french colonists the fruit is in-
cluded in the denomination of ‘“‘ Pommes de Lianes.” This
is nearly of the form and size of a smallish Lemon, yellow
spotted with white, having a soft leathery rind, enclosing
a mass of separate brown flattish cordate cohesive seeds,
each coated by a thick pulpy membrane constituting the
esculent portion of the fruit, much as the case is with the
Pomegranate. The pulp is watery and sweetish, of a
pleasant taste, for the sake of which the fruit is eaten, as
well as medicinally in fevers. When the rind is broken at
the top, the eatable contents are obtained at once by a
slight compression. The flowers are both fragrant and
beautiful; the young foliage is of a bright tender green,
gradually darkening till nearly black, in which it re-
sembles, as well as slightly in shape, that of the Laurel.
The way to grow the present, and indeed all the tropical
Climbers, is to plant them in a border of earth formed round
the inside of the bark-bed of the stove, and parted off from
-the tan by thick boarding down to the bottom of the bed:
the whole to be backed by trellis-work for them to climb
on. In this way they thrive in great luxuriance, and are
made to form a bower, some part or other of which is in
bloom nearly the year through. Propagated without diffi-
culty by layers and cuttings. Our drawing was made at the
Comtesse de Vandes’s, Bayswater.

Much cultivated in the West Indies as an ornamental
climber, especially for arbours and covered walks, for which
it is eminently adapted by a rapid and extensive growth,
beautiful and fragrant bloom, and broad deep green foliage.
But as well as daurifolia of the preceding article, it is said to
be peculiarly liable to be infested by the most noxious ser-
pents, who haunt it for the sake of the mice and squirrels
that feed upon the fruit, and are the favourite prey of these
reptiles—Jacquin never saw our plant-but in a culti-
vated state. Swartz makes it a native of the woods in the
West Indies. Yet neither he nor any author expressly
States the haying seen it, or even heard of its having been

~~
seen, wild. It was cultivated in this country by Ph. Miller
in 1760; and is pretty general in our hot-houses, where it
sometimes ripens the fruit. ‘This‘is nearly as large as, but
more oblong than a swan’s egg, with a thick soft spongy
rind, smooth and of a dull yellow-green on the outside,
lined within by a loose membranous sack filled with a mass
of pulpy-coated seed. ‘The sack is easily parted from- the
rind, and the pulpy contents are eaten at the dessert, mixed
with wine or without. The pulp is watery, rather fra-
gtant, and is said to have a grateful taste, something be-
tween sour and sweet (aigre-dour).—The bloom is the
largest and handsomest of any species known to us; and is
usually produced abundantly about August or September.
We have mentioned in the preceding -article what: is
esteemed the best mode of treatment for the tropical species
of the genus. Our drawing was.made at Bayswater, in
the hot-house belonging to the Comtesse de Vandes ;

Linneus, in recording. this plant by the present specific
name, has adduced a false synonym, truly belonging to
Guerranna speciosa; and had thus involved the Species’ in
an obscurity, that could never have been dispersed by his
accompanying vague specific phrase; but which has been
lately cleared up by a reference to the specimen in his
Herbarium, made by the present possessor of that botanical
treasure. By whom also the synonymy has been reformed,
and completed by recalling to it the authors the mistake
had misled. Among those usually cited, however, we have
omitted Osbeck, who describes his plant as having undulate,
elliptic-lanceolate, ovate leaves; by which he should seem
rather to point to wndulatum, another closely allied East In-
dian species, than to hirsutum. Dr. Roxburgh, among whose
unpublished drawings in the Banksian Museum is one of
this plant, found: it in the E. I. Company’s botanic garden
at Calcutta, where it was said to have been received from
China. The Doctor subsequently ascertained it to be a
native of Bengal. From him we learn that the flowers are
sometimes near thirty in a bunch, and that even in those
regions of beautiful plants it is in great request. The dark
green shining foliage, which is the most abundant and
thick-set of any of the simple-leaved species that we are ac-
quainted with, covers whatever it grows against nearly as
closely as Ivy, and forms a remarkable contrast to the
snow-white blossom. ‘This is exceeding fragrant, and
shows itself about August, continuing to blow in succes-
sion for several months together. It does not turn to
purple in the decay, as that of the Arabian Jasmine, nor
is it so fugacious. The lower leaves of the flower-bearin
branches are generally several times smaller than the others
and rounded; the older leaves are often nearly naked, gra-
dually shedding the pubescence that covered them. In
the late edition of the Hortus Kewensis, by a mistake
exceeding rare in that valuable work, the species is stated
to have been cultivated by Miller in 1759, on the authority
of the seventh edition of his dictionary; where indeed he
thas recorded a plant by the title of Nycranrues hirsuta ;
‘but which, upon critically examining his description, will
be found really to be the Nycranrugs Arbor tristis. The
present plant is in fact of recent introduction, having
‘been first’ sent from the East Indies by Dr, Roxburgh to
-Lady Amelia Hume. It is said to be easily multiplied by
layers, and should be planted in the ground by the side of
the bark-bed of the hot-house ; a small spot on the outside
of the bed will answer the purpose. Our drawing was made
at the garden belonging to the Comtesse de Vandes, at
Bayswater.
We should observe that the plant described by Vahl
(enum. 1. 27) for Jasminum undulatum, we take to: be the
present species, and not the Linnean Nycrantues undulata ;
and this opinion is confirmed by his quoting for it Bur-
man’s plant, which is the Jasminum hirsutum and not
the undulatum.

This shrub was introduced by Sir Joseph Banks from
New Holland in 1789. _‘It is desirable on account of the
great fragrance of the bloom, which is compared by some
to that of Jasmine; to us it appears far stronger, but not
so grateful. Monsieur Ventenat was misinformed, when he
stated it to be a native of the Canary Islands, A thick
strongly aromatic liquid exudes from the pores in the rind,
congeals into a thin resinous coat, and at last breaks down
into a whitish powder, Dr. Solander has compounded the
generic name of two greek words, importing that the seed —
is covered with pitch or resin, The present is a hardy

Native of the mountains of the western side of the Island
of Jamaica, where it grows (as the generic name implies)
on trees, striking root in the fissures of their bark. First
brought to England by Admiral Bligh, in 1793.
The cultivation of tropical parasitic vegetables was long —
regarded as hopeless with us; it appeared a vain attempt to
find substitutes for the various trees each species might
affect, within the limits of the hot-house. But experience
FA
has shown, not gnly that they succeed as easily as any other
plants from the same climate; but that, from the little
space they occupy, they are peculiarly suited to the ‘stove,
for which their curious structure and beauty render them
most desirable acquisitions. We are told they should be
planted superficially in proportionate pots of hazel-loam,
and placed on the shelf or the flue of the hot-house, but
never plunged into the bark-bed.
The genus is of Jussieu’s natural order of Orchidez, re-
arranged a few years since with great perspicuity and judg+
ment by the learned Dr. Olof Swartz; and still more re-
cently revised and enlarged by Mr. Brown, in his Prodro-
mus of the Flora of New Holland, with the accuracy for
which he is justly praised. The bloom of this species is of a
lemon-colour, darkening as it decays to a reddish brown;
the spike is constantly bent on one side, and offers a cha-
racteristic name for the species. The whole plant measures
from one to two feet in height. It has been elaborately de-
scribed by Swartz, among many others of the same tribe,
in his Flora Indiz occidentalis,
The drawing was made at the nursery of Messrs. Lee and
Kennedy, at Hammersmith, in lebruary last.

A genus formed by Mr. Brown, and first recorded in the
late edition of the Hortus Kewensis. It consists, as at pre-
sent known, of four species, all natives of the South-west
coast of New Holland, two of which are already in our
gardens. Comes very near to Merateuca: but has a one-
seeded three-celled capsule, and anthers that are inserted at
the base, and divided above into two lobes. ‘The present
species has grown in our collections to the height of nearly
five feet: the branches few, situated far up on the stem,
subverticillate; as well as that striped by four broadish-
longitudinal cuticular fillets, which at last scale off by de-
terminate portions, parting at the base upwards, within the
intervals of the scars left by the fallen foliage. The inflo-
rescence is ptoduced below the branches, and owes its
beauty to long scarlet stamineous shafts, branching at the
head into distinct filaments, four or five of which project
from each small green and nearly unseen corolla. ‘The
foliage is harsh, of a dull opaque green; each leaf about half.
an inch long and the third of one broad. The pollen issues
from the inner side of the cells from below, to within the
fork of the anther.
Discovered by Mr. Brown. Introduced by Mr. Good in
1803. A greenhouse plant; requiring a mixture of loam
and peat-mould to grow in.
Our drawing, the first published of any species of this
genus, was made in February last, from a plant that flow-
ered at Mr. James Dickson’s, nurseryman in Acre-lane

_ A native of the Cape of Good Hope, cultivated in the
Chelsea physic-garden, by Philip Miller, in 1768. The
bloom is of a pure white, with little scent during the day,
but sweet by night. We have never seen a plant of it more
than a foot high. The foliage reminds us of that of some
of the firs, and is much more numerous and close in the
spontaneous specimens we have seen, than in the garden”
ones. Requires to be kept in the greenhouse; will do with
the same treatment as the hardier Cape-shrubs; and is
readily increased by cuttings. Blooms freely in February
and March, and lasts long in flower. The Gnivra pinifolia
of the Supplementum of the the younger Linneus, inserted
among the synonyms of the present by Willdenow, is
evidently a very distinct species, having only two, and
those axillary, flowers at the end of each branch. This has
been recorded by Gmelin (Syst. nat. 7. 33.) under the name
of Gnipra acerosa, and in Dr. Martyn’s edition of Miller’s
Dict. under that of Gnipra Sparmanni. Wendland’s pinifolia
is the imberbis of the last edition of the Hortus Kewensis ;
and his radiata is the present species. -

Stellenboch. Not having had the opportunity of examin-
ing the plants, we have followed Mr. Brown in enumerat-.
ing the above synonyms as of varieties of the same species,
The involucre, which surrounds the numerous corollas of
the inflorescence, constitutes the beauty of the plant. In
our specimen some few of the upper leaves had a pink

Throughout this genus, the beauty of. the inflorescence: ~’
is in the calyx. ‘This being of a scariose substance, and
enduring for years with little change, has been the cause
that our plant has been admired upon the shelf of the
Botanist, and among the figures of his books for at least
half a century before it reached his garden. As an “ ever-
lasting” for the winter-boughpot, Linnzus proclaims it
GQ
without an equal, “sine pari pro flore perennante.” Its
branches are very elastic, and have the appearance of frosted
silver, from a dense white nap that covers them. Within
the first year’s growth, the stem is observed to put forth
numerous hoary oblong-spatulate and linear leaves, de-
creasing from an inch to scarcely two lines in length. Si-
milar ones are also borne by one or two of the lower
branches, but ail disappear after or before the end of the
first year, none such being reproduced, nor indeed any of
any sort on the stem and principal branches. Each leaf of
the adult plant produces from its axil a short branch, simi-
lar to that on which itself was first produced, then falls
off, thus forming the most bushy shrub of the genus. An
entire flower of the preceding year is almost always found
faded, but not decayed, in the fork of the flowering
branches of the present. Plukenet is the only author, who
seems to have noticed the difference of the primary leaves
from that of the succeeding ones. The plant is peculiarly
subject to be destroyed by the damp of Winter-fogs; and
should be kept in the most light and airy part of the green-
house that can be selected. It thrives best in black. sandy
peat-mould. Native of the Cape of Good Hope, where it
is found on the tops of the mountains. Introduced by Mr,
Masson in 1789. :
_ Exicurysum at present consists of the shrubby species
formerly included in XeRantuEmum ; from the herbaceous
ones of which it has been detached by Willdenow, as
differing in character, by a receptacle not clothed with
chaffy bractes; but naked, and by a pappus not of chaft:
bristles ; but of simple or else feathered hairs. y

Our variety (strictly a full one) having all the stamens
grown out into petals, and the corolla filled by them some-
thing in the same way as that of the Pompone variety of
the Provins-rose, which it approaches in colour, has been
called by the gardeners the Pompone-Camellia; and is, we
believe, the last imported.
This fine evergreen shrub, in all its varieties, is the pro-
duce of China and Japan, where it forms a chief feature of
every garden and grove. It is said to attain the size of a
considerable tree, with a short trunk, dividing into nume-
rous spreading branches ; /eaves substantial, alternate, shortly
petioled, elliptically ovate, acuminate, serrate, shining ; pe-
duncles 1-flowered, terminal, generally solitary, sometimes
2-3; calyx herbaceous, imbricate, with about 9 broad ovate
deciduous leaflets ; petals 5-7, round, flat, emarginate, longer
than the calyx, substantial, fleshy, grown together by
an extended base; filaments very many, grown to each other
at the base and to the concrete part of the corolla, con-
verging into a hollow cylinder, shorter than the petals;
anthers roundish, yellow ; style filiform, somewhat angular,
length of the stamens ; stigmas 3. :
We have enumerated the eleven varieties of this species,
as given in the last edition of the Hortus Kewensis, adding
a twelfth. The common red one was first cultivated by
Lord Petre in 1739. The single-flowered of this, now
serves for little else than as the stock to ingraft or inarch
the rare ones upon, most of which are of very recent intro-
duction ; and by their number prove the industry of the
florist of the parts they come from. All will live in the:
open air in England, but the natural time of flowering:
falling in a season too inclement in these parts for the ex-
pansion of the bloom, they can never be seen in perfection
in any place but the conservatory ; where they thrive best
when planted in the ground; and we are told the single
red one has there attained the height of fifteen feet, witha
head in proportion. We have never seen or heard of a
single-flowered white variety. Loureiro, in his Flora of.
Cochinchina, has a Camellia drupifera, most probably not
specifically distinct from japonica; this he describes as hav-
ing white bloom. His description is however too vague to
ascertain their specific identity.
The drawing was made in the nursery of Messrs. Lee and.
Kennedy, at Hammersmith, in February last.

An unrecorded species, and not known in our collec-
tions, until very lately imported by Mr. Griffin, from
whose botanical pursuits we have already derived the in-
troduction of other new and curious plants. It was received
by the way of Portugal, from St. Paul’s in the Brazils.
Every one will perceive the close resemblance of our
plant to AmAryLLis equestris (miniata of the Flora peru-
viana); but on inspecting the interior of the tube of the
corolla, the whole of this in ruéi/a will be found to be
completely smooth, while its mouth in equestris is always
ubescent ; the segments are also narrower and longer in
the present species, the stigmas far more deeply separated,
and the spathe dries quickly away, and does not remain
upright and long unaltered as in the other. More distinc-
tions will probably be detected on a comparison of the liy-
ing specimens of the two, They are natives of opposite
sides of the South American continent; equestris (miniata)
being found in Peru, in woods and field-sides on the
Andees; and is called by the spanish colonists lacre de
montana, or mountain-sealing-wax, in allusion to the colour
of the flower. And it is said that where the bulb is cut, the
part on exposure to the air becomes vermilion; and that
the juice is used as an ink for the signature of the name to
letters, having been found to acquire the same fine colour
‘when dry. ‘These circumstances most probably belong also
to rutila; the flower of which is scentless; the vermilion
on the inside sparkling and streaked with deeper coloured
feathered lines; on the outside opaque suffused with pmk
and tinged partially with green and yellow; the funyel or
throat within of a greenish white and six-rayed,
The drawing was made from a bulb that flowered with
more of the same species in the dry-stove in Mr. Grittin’s
garden at South Lambeth, in March last, ;

A rare species, and one that has not found a place in the
late edition of the Hortus Kewensis, nor been figured in
any work: nor had we heard of its being in any collection,
until we met with it in that of Messrs. Lee and Kennedy at
Hammersmith, where the drawing was taken in March last,
from a plant that had been raised from seed.
Native of New-South-Wales; found by Mr. Brown in
the neighbourhood of Port-Jackson. It approaches in the
colour of the flower to viridiflora, but is very different in
the foliage, which in that is obovate-oblong, flat, and about
one inch long; not, as in this, tapering from the base up-
wards, concaye and about two inches long. It is a woody
VOL. I. H
shrub, with hard leaves. The plant we saw, was about three
feet high, and leafless below the branches. Spontaneous
specimens of both /ongifolia and viridiflora are preserved in
the Banksian Herbarium.
Thrives in peat-earth, and requires to be kept in the
greenhouse. *

The appellation of “ the sensitive plant” having long
since been very generally transferred in our gardens from
the present species to the Mimosa pudica or “humble
plant,” a small annual that occurs in almost every collec-
tion, where tender annuals are cultivated; this article may
serve to recall to our readers the original owner of that
name; a plant rarely seen in this country. ie:
The extraordinary effect of the perceptibility of the pre-
sent and other Mrmosa, has given rise to much speculation
among physiologists, which however appears to have af-
H 2
forded no satisfactory or very interesting result. It is
certain that when this plant is in health and growing in a
sufficient degree of warmth, the leaves, upon being smartly
touched, fold together by their leaflets, and their stalk
sinks; the same change of position takes place spontaneously
in them all every evening for the night; and the posture then
assumed is, according to Linneus, that of the sleep of the
plant. A leaf that has coilapsed either naturally or from arti-
ficial irritation, is perceived to resume its extended state by
a gradual vibratory motion, compared by Miller to that of
the index of aclock. The discovery of the end attained in
this phenomenon is most probably reserved for a diligent
attention to the economy of these vegetables on their native
spot. The root of all of them emits a most offensive smell,
resembling that from a sewer at the time of impending
rain.
The species is marked in the Hortus Kewensis for bien-
nial. Its stem is woody and brittle, and sometimes ac-
quires the height of 8 feet; but must have support. Several
new ones have been discovered in South America (of which
country all are natives), by Messrs. Bonpland and Hum-
boldt.
Native of the Brazils. Introduced in 1783 by Dr.
Houston. Varies much in the size of the leaflets. The
drawing was made from the only living specimen we have
seen, and which had been raised from seed received from —
Jamaica, in the nursery of Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, Ham-
mersmith.

In general habit this species strongly resembles the Corraa
wirens of the third article of this work, but has an upright
brilliantly two-coloured corolla, and a pubescent style. It
has been omitted in the Hortus Kewensis. f
Native of New-South-Wales, where it was first found
by Sir Joseph Banks and Dr. Solander. Introduced in
1804, Like the rest of the genus, yet known, in our gar-
dens, it is a hardy greenhouse plant, and peculiarly suited
to the border of a conservatory, where it flowers freely in
March and April soon after virens; and, as well as that, is
wholly without scent. A mixture of hazel-loam and _peat-
earth is what suits it best. Multiplied by cuttings, which
strike easily.
We have seen specimens that have had a leaf with a
somewhat depressed margin and convex disk; and others,
as the present, where the leaf is entirely flat and slightly
assurgent, in which the marginal indentation becomes more
conspicuous. :
The drawing was made at Mr. Knight’s exotic nursery,
King’s Road, Little Chelsea, in March last.

It is now at least seven or eight years since this pretty
flowered species first appeared in England; but we believe
it has not been recognised till at present, from -the time of
Thunberg’s notice of it in its native place. We met with
the specimen, from a branch of which the drawing was
made, in the conservatory appropriated to chinese vege-
tables, at the nursery of Messrs. Lee and Kennedy in Ham-
mersmith ; where it formed a small branching tree, about
five feet high, and was covered with bloom by the begin-
ning of April. The petals of the flower are somewhat mul-
tiplied, but not so as to destroy fertility; its small uneat-
able fruit being (as we were informed) perfected every year,
and generally by pairs on each stalk, an effect probably of
luxuriant variety.
Its introduction is due to the late Mr, Charles Greville,
who received it from China, and was the first to cultivate
it in his botanic garden at Paddington. We suspect that,
like many other chinese plants, it will be found sufficiently
hardy to live in the open ground. At present being rare,
it is kept in the conservatory. Seems to be of as easy culti-
vation and propagation as any of the common species of
the same genus.

Had we relied simply on our own judgment, we should
‘probably, as well as Monsieur Ventenat, have separated

that it was intermediate between that and oppositifolia ; ap-
VOL. Ie I
proaching the latter by the form, colour, and surface of
the foliage, and receding from it as to the position of the
same; while on the other hand it agreed with the former in
having a scattered and not opposite foliage, and differed
again in the colour, form, and surface of that. But we
have trusted probably to safer guides, in following the late
edition of the Hortus Kewensis and Persoon’s Synopsis
Plantarum. In (@) the leaves are sometimes entire, some-
times indented, deep-green, firm, ‘covered with a short
somewhat hispid pubescence, roughened with small points
like shagreen, and possess a balsamic scent, which Jacquin
attributes to the flower, instead of them; the ray is of two
colours, yellow or white within, purple without, and
slightly plaited. In (@) the leaves are glaucous or grey,
always entire, naked, ciliate, flaccid, smooth, and entirely
scentless; the ray is of a uniform bright orange-colour,
quite flat and plaitless. As to all other points the resem-
blance of the two varieties is certainly complete. The
lower part of their stem is somewhat woody, and comes
near in consistence to that of the common lavender-bush.
The present plant has been generally kndwn in the nur-
series by the name of Catenpua aurea, and is by far the
most showy of the two; the flower, which sometimes ex-
ceeds 3 inches in diameter, opens in the morning, when the
sun shines, but closes in the afternoon and on the ap-
proach of rain; this it will continue to do for many days in
‘succession. When fully expanded, a passing cloud will
disturb it. (@) was introduced by Mr. Masson in 1774,
from the Cape of Good Hope. Of the particular origin of
(@) we have learned nothing; it is stated generally, by
Mons. Ventenat, to be native of the Cape of Good Hope.
Both vary from 2 to 4 feet in height, and require support
when in bloom.
A greenhouse plant of easy culture; flowers early in
April; is increased by cuttings or slips, with nearly. the
same facility as the common pink. —
The drawing was taken at the nursery of Messrs. Colville,
in the King’s Road, Chelsea. )

A native of New-South-Wales, where it grows to be
a considerable-sized shrub, and is manufactured by the
natives into a rude cordage, suited to their purposes. In-
dependent of the handsome bloom, it is curious for the
variety in the foliage, where the footstalk sometimes holds
an undivided one-nerved leaf, but oftener a palmate one of
2, 3, or 5 lobes, and as many nerves, to be depressed or
elevated from a joint at the top of the footstalk. The
flowers are of short duration, and produced singly from
the axils of the upper leaves, The plant was dis-
covered by Colonel Paterson on the banks of the Hawkes-
bury river; and first cultivated in this country by the late
Mr. Charles’ Greville, in the conservatory of his botanic-
garden at Paddington, in 1803. We have learned nothing
in relation to its culture, or the modes of increasing it.

In point of ornament, this shrub seems to us in some sort
to fill in the hothouse, the same place that the Fucusta
coccinea does in the other departments of the garden.
Native of the hills and valleys of the northern provinces
of the Carnatic, where it flowers during the cold and at the
beginning of the hot season; with us from April to May.
The calyx is of a bright scarlet colour, permanent, and.
serves as a covering to the seed-vessel, by ‘aba the beauty
of the plant is considerably prolonged in India; but here
the seed is seldom perfected, and the calyx decays sooner.
Dr. Roxburgh tells us, that its appellation in the Telinga
dialect is Seringie, and that he does not know any use that
is made of any part of the shrub.
Its generic name commemorates the. author of the Viri-
darium lusitanicum, Gabriel Grisley. Linneus had ar-
ranged this species under Lyrurum; from whence it has
been removed to the present genus by the late Mr. Dryan-
der, under whose inspection Dr. Roxburgh’s work on the
Coromandel plants was ‘edited. It requires to be kept al-
ways in the stove. Varies much in the number of its sta-
mens, segments of the calyx, and number of petals, from
six to twenty, perhaps more.
Introduced in 1804 by Mr. William Salisbury.

ley, Brame, and Milne, King’s Road, Parson’s Green,

One of the most desirable shrubs we know of. It forms
a close round extensive bush of five or six feet in height,
feathering on all sides down to the ground, and is in full
leaf and bloom in the middle of April, or sometimes earlier.
b
It is perfectly hardy, and will grow in almost any soil
and situation. Notwithstanding these advantages itis cer-
tainly far from being common in gardens or shrubberies.
The finest plants of it we have seen, are in Mr. Joseph
Kirke’s nursery, at Old Brompton, at which place the
drawing was taken.
‘ A native of the oriental provinces of Russia, where it is
frequented by the spanish or blister-fly (Lyrra vesicatoria.
Ginel. syst. nat. 1. 2013, the former Canruarts of the shops),
which is collected by the apothecaries from this bush. ‘The
berries are eaten by the common people, although disgust-
ingly bitter, and not entirely innoxious. The stem, which
is sometimes two inches in diameter, is used in the manufac-
ture of walking-sticks, and the handles of instruments ; it
is na solid, of a yellowish-grey colour, and beautifully
veined. .
Cultivated in 1752 by Mr. Miller, who raised it from
seed, sent from Petersburgh, where it had been received
from Tartary. It varies in the shade with flowers entirely
white.
In Jussieu’s arrangement and nomenclature this species
belongs to XyLostEon.

VOL. L K Re
To us the present plant appears a distinct species from
aspera, of which however it has been always recorded as
the variety @.. Without laying any stress on the larger
and differently coloured flower, it may be distinguished by
a foliage by no means various to the extent it is in that,
where the central upper stem-leaves have commonly a broad
disk with a shallowly indented margin, and are trans-
formed in the same plant by intermediate changes into
deeply pinnatifid ones with a very narrow disk, in which the
villous pubescence intermixed with the araneous one that
covers the upper surface, is far more abundant, longer, and
harsher than in the present plant; but the more palpable
mark is in the outermost scales or leaflets of the calyx,
which in dureola are reflex, obversely or cuneately oblong,
flat, with a broad shortly pointed termination, and a
- slight araneous pubescence beneath ; but in aspera, Yevo-
Jute, subulate or acicular, with a remarkably close shagg
pubescence.
This plant, although it has been long and very generally:
known. in our gardens, probably ever since the time of
Miller, has never been represented by any figure that we
can trace, except the diminished engraving we have quoted
from Boorhaave’s Index to the Leyden Garden. It becomes
shrubby as well as aspera, acquiring: by age a hard-wooded
close-fibred stem of nearly an inch and half in diameter.
Notwithstanding this, to have either of the species in
perfection, they should be frequently renewed by cuttings,
which strike easily if planted in.a border of light earth
during any of the summer'months. These, when properly
rooted, may be potted in the autumn, in order to be shel-
tered for the winter in the greenhouse or garden-frame. In ~
summer they can scarcely be supplied with too much water,
if properly drained. Old plants are apt to become mouldy,
and should be frequently cleared of their decayed leaves.
Both species are very desirable acquisitions for the green-
house, since, besides the beauty of the bloom, easy culture
and propagation, they afford a’succession of flowers nearly
the year round. Z
Native of the Cape of Good Hope.
The drawing was made at the nursery of Messrs. Colville,
in the King’s Road, Chelsea.

It is not always an easy task to recognise the species of
this family, owing to the variation in their foliage, especi-
ally when viewed under the different aspects imparted by
age or luxuriance of growth ; a circumstance that may have
‘been the cause why the present has not been known b
Jacquin as the aspera of Linneus, but been published by
that botanist under a newname. The figure he has given
is of a specimen of a fragment of the stem, to which only
a lower branch is attached; in this the leaves are all’ deeply
innatifid with a narrow disk, as is usual, as far as we hav
seen, in all branches of old plants of this species. .
We have been amused by observing the newly expanded
flowers of this and aureola, on a bright warm day, under
the shelter of a greenhouse; when the stigmas of the barren
florets may be perceived to emerge from within the tube of
the concealed anthers, carrying up the pollen parted
With to them by those organs, and which is seen to adhere
in a thick coat of yellow powder, to afford it from this new
position the means of an access necessary to the otherwise
unprovided stigmas of the surrounding ray: a task to
which the proper organ is evidently here incompetent. By
and by the same are seen to retreat gradually within the
cavity of the now empty anthers. When recently emerged
and charged with pollen, they bend and incline themselves
with a lively motion on the slightest touch, but always in
the direction whence the impulse came; and in so doing
necessarily part with a portion of the pollen that covers
them. And as the honeyed liquid which attracts the insect
to the flower is deposited in the ray that surrounds the
disk, the impulse will be the more certainly given by that
mean, probably the only one, from the side towards which
it is requisite that the pollen should be carried. The style,
by the extension and contraction of which the stigma is
made to advance and withdraw, seems to consist of a sub-
stance resembling elastic gum (Caoutchouc), and may be
repeatedly drawn out to a considerable extent like that,
contracting to its former dimensions when left to itself
with the same elastic force. }
The outer series of the chaffy seed-crown, shown in’ the
dissection, seems not to have been elsewhere noticéd; at
Jeast not in any work known to us.
The flower of both this and aureola have a slightly bit-
ter smell. ;

mis, flosculo pariim brevioribus : pappus his tri, lo brevior, paleaceo-pilosus,
multiplex in serie singulari. Recept. convecum brevitér alveolato-pilosum.
The genus was founded under its present name by Gert-
ner, by detaching from Gorrertra its well-known rigens ;
and has been since judiciously adopted by Mr. Brown, in _
the late edition of the Hortus Kewensis, where two other
species have been added, of which the present is one. In
Gorteria the pappus, or seed-crown, is a mere ciliate edge,
and the calyx closes and finally hardens ‘ound the seed,
which it retains and falls off with; circiimstances that do
not belong to Gazania.
The subject of the present article is from the Cape of
Good Hope, where it was collected by Mr. Niven, for
Mr. Hibbert’s late botanic establishment at Clapham,
about the year 1804. ‘The specific name seems to have
been suggested by some resemblance in the colour of the
ray to that of the corolla of the Ticrrpra pavonia: The.
coriaceously thickened calyx is formed of a concretion of
numerous unequal leaflets, the inner ones of which remain
separated near the top, into about 4 imbricate series. The
dark irregular marks and small one-bristled knobs or tu-
bercles, that are seen on its outside, denote the termina-
tions of the several leaflets that are merged in its substance.
When the flower closes in the evening, or from the absence
of sunshine, besides the general movement by which the
ray converges, each of its broad semiflorets rolls itself up
very compactly from each side, inwards, to the middle; to
expand again in the morning, or when the sun appears. In.
Gazania rigens the circle that encompasses the foot of the
ray is black, here of an hazel-brown on the inside, and blue
on the opposite surface. At Messrs. Colville’s and Mr.
Knight's nurseries, we have seen a plant which we take to
be an hybrid, or cross production of the two, partaking in
almost equal proportions of those parts in which the pa-
rents differ, but altogether smoother and more robust than
either; the very circle of the ray is partly black, as in
rigens ; pattly brown, as in pavonia.
The present drawing was made in part at the Comtesse
de Vandes’ botanic-garden, and in part at Messrs. Fraser’s,.
in Sloane Square.
The species is certainly perennial, although marked in
the Hortus Kewensis as biennial. Should be kept in the
greenhouse, where it requires no care beyond an occasional
SupDly of water. Easily multiplied by dividing the root-
stock.

We do not doubt that the present plant is the Ecnium
Jruticosum of the Hortus Kewensis; but certainly have some
doubt whether that of Jacquin, admitted for a synonym
in the late edition of that work, is of the same species.
“There the inflorescence terminates each branch in a simple
continuous scattered axillary upright spike of smaller
flowers, and the leaves are of a more ovate form and shorter. -
Spontaneous specimens of each have been evidently grouped
together, as of one species, in the Banksian Herbarium,
VOL. I, ~ L
But still we think their diversity is of that sort that cannot
be presumed an effect of either age or seminal incon-
stancy. And we haye no reason to think it has been proved
by experiment, or even deduced from any analogous varia-
tion in other species of the tribe. Our plant is undoubtedly
that of Bergius, whose description is complete ; of Com-
melin, of Thunberg, and of Miller as a specimen from the
Chelsea garden proves. We have no reason to suspect its
not being likewise that of Linnzus, who quotes Commelin’s
figure; but we have not seen his specimen, and what he
has said of it will not serve to decide so near a distinction.
It comes very close to glabrum, but that is destitute of
pubescence, and is glaucous. The colour of the corolla
varies from nearly all blue to nearly all pearl-colour, and
the plant has a very different appearance when the several
spikelets are completely evolved, from that which it has
when. these are only partially so. While the leaves are
young and fresh, the appressed pubescence can scarcely be
said to be hard, but when these are full grown or dry, this
is as rigid nearly as if of metal; each hair stands upon a
small tubercle or elevated callous point, which is sometimes
white, like chalk. The bloom smells like honey. _ Bergius
notices the pubescence in the orifice of the tube, but as an
appendage to the bases of the stamens. Cultivated in 1759
by Miller. Native of the Cape of Good Hope. A green-
house plant; thriving in peat-earth with a mixture of hazel-
loam; and if placed in a pan of water just before the bloom —
expands, this will be larger and more purple than other-
wise. Blooms in May and June. Multiplied by cuttings.
The drawing was made from a plant in Mr. Creswell’s
conservatory at Earl’s Court, Brompton. We saw one at
Mr. Colville’s nursery, in the King’s Road, with larger
flowers, some of which were of a peach-colour, and nearly”
transparent; the young branches were also very red. And
another at Mr. Knight’s exotic nursery, in which the
flowers were smaller and bluer even than in the present,
and the young branches entirely green, without any mix-
ture of red whatever.

This handsome variety of the dotted-leaved Rhododen-
dron has been very lately raised from seed imported from
America by Messrs. Fraser, nurserymen, in Sloane Square,
by whom the other variety was introduced in 1786. It
differs from that, in being a plant of a more compact growth,
with a broader foliage, a corolla an inch or more in depth,
and of an uniform pale pink colour, entirely free from the
green spots that are so conspicuous in the upper part of the
faux of the other; where the corolla is little more than half
LQ.
=
the depth of the present. The species is native of the moun-
tains of Carolina. Like most other North American plants, it
grows with us in the open air; but the buds which contain
the flowers are apt to be so far affected by our late frosts,
as to prevent a perfect expansion of the bloom, unless the
plant has been removed into a greenhouse conservatory or
some kind of shelter very early in the spring. Should be
planted in bog-earth, where it attains the height of three
feet, and sometimes even four. The present variety pro-
mises, independent of the superior beauty of the flower,
to be a more valuable acquisition than the old one; as it
has not the defect of becoming straggling and bare, which
that has. Propagated by layers, as well as seed.

The same collection which two months ago enabled us to
add the Amarytuis ruéi/a to the list of this splendid genus,
has in the present supplied another unrecorded species, su-
perior in beauty to the former. It is said to have been
found in the Brazils by Mr. E. Woodford ; and received by
the way of Lisbon by Mr. Griffin, with whom it flowered
in the dry-stove of his garden at South Lambeth in May
last, for the first time.
Independent of other peculiarities, it is at once dis-
tinguished by the remarkably insulated upper middle seg-
ment of its corolla, farther removed from its two immediate
lateral ones than in any species we can recollect, and forms
alone the upper lip of the flower; while the under-lip may
be said to consist of the remainder, four of which converge
towards the lower middle one, which does not project as in
rutila and equestris. The flower has ‘no scent, is of a bright
glittering salmon-colour, about four inches deep, and almost
six across the widest dimension of the aperture, nearly
transparent and streaked with longitudinal parallel veins,
not visibly barred in the intervals, as in the leaves. The
mouth of the tube is entirely smooth. Stem two feet or
more high, clouded with a blueish or grey bloom; /eaves
considerably shorter, of a clear unclouded green, and irre-
gularly latticed-veined, the intervals between their straight
Jongitudinal parallel veins being crossed or barred by broken
lines at equal but irregularly disposed distances; in the way .
that both flower and leaves are in AMARYLULISs “ediculata.
It has been suggested to us, that the double-flowered
variety of the plant, introduced a few years since by Messrs.
Fraser, of Sloane Square, and known among the gardeners
by the name of Amarytrs pulcherrima, may belong to this
species, the colour being nearly the same; but we take
that to be Amaryxuts equestris, or a Species nearer to that
- than to the present, if really distinct. ‘The corolla is there,
however, too much deformed by the multiplicity of petals
to afford decisive evidence of such Close distinction; espe-
cially as the tube is filled up, and it cannot be discerne
_ with which the interior of that agrees,
a Three of the stamens as they are placed on the tube, which is cut open
and separated from the rest of the corolla. 4 The pistil. c An unripe

We have to add another species to. this..encumbered:
genus; at least we are unable to reduce the present to any
recorded plant that we can trace. It approaches near to
- Tromaza congesta of Mr. Brown (prodr. 485), which we
take to be ConvotvuLus multiflorus of the Banksian Herba-
rium from New Holland; but there the leaves are all
entire, smaller, and covered on the upper surface with a
short dense pile like that of velvet; not as here, somewhat
roughened by a thin appressed pubescence ; nor is that a
shrubby species, none of which indeed came within the ob-
servation of Mr. Brown in the parts of New Holland he
visited.
A plant of rapid and extensive growth, having in the
VO Teil ieee M .
present instance attained the length of near 60 feet within
the space of three years from seed; and had not the swarm
of runners it produces from both root and stem been re-
peatedly stopped and removed, would probably have ex-
tended itself on all sides to the same distance, and overrun
the stove in which it grows. We can hardly conceive any
single vegetable to form a more pleasing and durable orna-
ment than this; which should be led round the hothouse
along a lath or iron-rod, when the twining branches,
clothed by a broad heart-shaped foliage, will constitute a
thick evergreen wreath, from various parts of which,
throughout its whole extent, a succession of large azure
bloom is kept up for months together; so that the entire
circumference of the house will be daily enlivened by fresh
appearances of it. Individually the flowers are but of short
duration; in the morning, of a vivid ultramarine blue; by
mid-day, reddening at the plaits of the border ; before sun-
set, wholly suffused with red, when they dissolve. The
stem is.of a tough pliable wood, in external appearance’
much. like that of the Arrstorocuta Sipho. The foliage
varies from cordate and undivided, to two three-lobed
with broad lanceolate divisions.
A stove plant, and should be placed in a border of
rich loam formed within the tan-pit, and boarded off from:
the tan down to the bottom. No plant can be easier to-
multiply; the runners protruding their roots, even while
suspended in the air, from beneath the leaf at every joint.
Native of South America. Raised from seed brought
from Vera Cruz about three years ago to Alexander J ohn-
ston, gardener to Mrs. Hatch, Clayberry Hall, Essex;
but whether gathered in the neighbourhood of the town,
or in the interior of the country, cannot at present be ascer-
tained. -

Just such another undershrub as the Carenpura Tragus
of this work (see fol. 28); attains the same height, requires,
like that, to be supported while in bloom, and 1s propagated
in the same way, but is generally more numerously
branched. In the foliage and flower there is considerable
difference; the latter is thelargest yet known of the genus.
The whole of the herbaceous part of the plant is covered
with a short harsh pubescence. It blooms freely most part
of the summer, is very ornamental, and the flower lasts
long unfaded; nor does it require so bright a day to expand
as in Zragus, nor close so capriciously from change of
weather as in that. Monsieur Ventenat, by whom it was
first made known, considers the species as partaking of
both Osreosprrmum and Carenputa; agreeing with the
former in a fertile female ray and barren hermaphrodite
disk, with the latter in the seed.

An ornamental species of a genus where few such are to
be expected. The foliage has a rank weed-like smell, not
unlike that of the common Dead-nettle; the bloom how-
ever, which is produced about May or June, is rather fra-
grant. The stem rises from a foot to a foot and a half —
high; the leaves have sometimes the appearance of being
radical, but when the stem is fully grown out they will be
found to be all truly cauline, although situated low; these
have sometimes a purplish hue beneath, owing to the pu--
bescence having. there assumed that colour, but are more
commonly all green. The part of the world to which the
species naturally belongs, seems not to be precisely deter-
mined. We have heard it called siberian by some, chinese
by others. Introduced by Mr. George Slater in 1789. It
is a hardy greenhouse-plant, requiring no particular treat-
ment; and ‘is propagated by off-sets from the root, which
are however produced but sparingly.

A hardy herbaceous perennial plant, native of the fur-
thermost parts of Siberia. The root, which consists chiefly
of a fascicle of parallel cylindrically tuberous fibres, is said,
in the “ Flora rossica,” to be used by some of the Tartar
tribes, as an article of food; and its seed reduced to pow-
der, as an ingredient of their tea. The bloom of the present
variety is large and showy, diffusing a very powerful, and —
to some people not unpleasant scent. The species was in-
troduced by the Chevalier Pallas in 1784. Flowers about
June. We are told of both a single-and double variety
with petals of a fine rose-colour. We have not seen either.
The peculiar membrane which in this genus surrounds the
group of germens, in the present species is narrow and in-
conspicuous; but in a chinese. one,, supposed to be the
single-flowered Paonta Moutan, _ envelops. them entirely.
_ By some botanists we find this part considered as an in-
herent and peculiar feature of the genus; by others as an in-
cidental and partial excrescence. Mr. Brown, who had ob-
served in the double variety of J/outan, that where there
was-an incipient multiplication of the group or body of ger-
mens, these formations were constantly accompanied by se-
parate imperfect ones of this part; tells us that subsequent
observations have counterbalanced the weight he at first at-
tached to this fact, and that he is now inclined to give but
little importance to the part, at least as a generic feature.

Four closely resembling species of this genus, all from
the West Indies, have for a long time been cultivated in
VOL. I, oe ,
J
our stoves; and have created some perplexity among bota-
nists as to their distinction. Three of these, viz. caribeunt
Cfragrans of the 2d edit. of Hort. Kew.), amenum, and
speciosum, have been correctly figured in Curtis’s Botanical
Magazine; and we have now an opportunity of publishing
the fourth, the one of the least frequent occurrence. This
may be distinguished at first sight from the other three by
a smaller flower, much slenderer in all the parts, and by a
proportionately far broader foliage. Linnawus has made it a
variety of amboinense in his second edition of the Species
Plantarum, evidently from a very imperfect acquaintance
with both; no two plants that can be included in the
same genus being more widely and clearly distinct when |
sufficiently known. Miller, by whom the present species
was cultivated, has recorded it in the sixth and last quarto,
edition of his Dictionary, by the name we have adopted ;
but we do not find that it has since been received into any
systematic enumeration of vegetables as a separate one.
It approaches amanum (lately published in Redouté’s Li-
liacées, tab. 413, by the name of fragrans) the nearest of
any other; but still differs, beside the smallness of the
flower and breadth of the foliage, by a tube that has no
trace of an hexangular form, by a limb, that, instead of be-
ing a third longer, is scarcely equal to the tube, and by a
crown in which the interstamineous teeth are entire, and not
bipartite. All the four species are very fragrant, and if
kept constantly in the bark-bed will flower twice, and some-
times even thrice a year. The figure we have adduced in
the synonymy from the Botanist’s Repository, we formerly
believed to belong to amenum, but now think that it has
been more probably intended for ovatum; in truth, it is
hard to say where it belongs. Ovatum, though of long
standing, is far from a common plant in our collections; it
is inferior, in point of ornament and fragrance, to the other
three, especially to speciosum and caribeum, of which last a
correct and characteristic figure has been very lately given
in Willdenow’s “ Hortus berolinensis” (tab. 73). parse |:

The white hue so conspicuous in this plant, and which
has suggested the specific name, is communicated by a
short thick villous pubescence that covers nearly every
part of it. The stem is of a close-grained hard wood, and
sometimes nearly two inches in diameter near the base.
The bloom is produced in April and May, and continues
long in beauty, the |flowers expanding themselves in suc-
cession as the numerous spikelets, which are rolled inwards
and point towards the axis of the common panicle, proceed
in evolving themselves to complete extension.
Monsieur Ventenat has expressed a doubt whether the
figure we have quoted from Jacquin’s works, really belongs —
to this species; but seems to have overlooked the reasons
assigned in the “ Icones rariores” for the peculiar appear--
ance of the specimen from which that figure was taken,
the stock of which is said to have assumed the one more
NQ .
usual to the species as it advanced in age. We own we do
not see any cause to question the ‘specific identity of
the plants; and the acutest and most diligent of synonym-
ists, Mr. Dryander, although aware of the objection (as
it appears he was by a manuscript note in the Banksian
Library), has adopted it for the synonym of our plant in
the last edition of the Hortus Kewensis.
This shrub is usually kept in the greenhouse; but we
are told does better when planted against a wall in a border
of light sandy soil in a southern aspect, where it survives
our common winters and produces an infinitely finer bloom.
We have seen the inflorescence of some so treated more
than a foot long, and very crowded. Native of the island
of Madeira, where it grows on rocks, and is said to attain
the height of six feet or more. Introduced by Mr. Masson
in 1777. .

oval, deeply and evenly serrate, when bruised diffusing
an unpleasant narcotic smell: raceme of a purple-chocolate-
colour; if shaken dropping a sweet brownish liquid, which
is secreted by its peculiar nectary, placed within the bag
or spur at the base of the lower segment of the calyx, and
from which the genus has obtained its appellation. To the
natives of the Cape and its neighbourhood this juice is a
well-known dainty, and when the plant is in bloom the
flower is unfailingly plucked by the first of them that de-
scries it.
The calyx is here the conspicuous feature of the inflo-
resente; the corolla being both inconspicuous and fuga-
cious. The last has been rightly described as of five petals
by Jussieu, not of four, as we find it said to be in the
Genera Plantarum and subsequent compilations. When the
flower is reversed, it reminds us of some insect of the grass-
hopper kind. <n
Usually kept in the greenhouse; but Miller says, the °
surest method to have it flower, is to plant it in the open
ground, and to cover the shoots in frosty weather, so as to
prevent their being killed at the top; having first chosen
a wall with a southern aspect, and placed the plant in dry
rubbish, that it may shoot less vigorously, be consequently
less succulent, and therefore farther without the influence
of frost. For, if the stalk is killed at the top, although it
sprouts again, it will not flower the same season. Mul-
tiplied by suckers taken off at any time from March to
September. In favourable summers it ripens seed.

Road, Little Chelsea, in May last.

The history of the plants that compose this popular
genus, which has appeared in the last fasciculus of Rees’s
Cyclopedia, coming from the pen of Sir James Smith, it
would be an injustice to our readers to omit availing our-
selves of the account of the present species.
“This fine and singular species, strangely confounded by |
many botanists, with Rosa dutea, was received by Clusius
“from the Levant, but its native country is not precisely
“known. It has been cultivated in England for near 200
- years, and is perfectly hardy as to cold, but very impatient
« of low, confined or smoky situations; nor does it in the most
“ favourable often expand its copious, and truly glorious
\
“ flowers to advantage. We have seen them in the greatest
“ perfection, on a poor gravelly soil, exposed to east winds,
“ about out-houses and hovels, where no care was taken of
“the plant. The bush is larger than in R. dutea, and evi-
“dently distinguishable by the pale glaucous hue of its
“‘ smooth inodorous leaves. ‘The prickles of the stem are of
“‘ two kinds; some twice as large as the others. [lowers
“ Jarge and very double, without scent; of a rich but deli-
“ cate golden yellow, their inner petals when perfect so pro-
“ fusely and elegantly crumpled, and so brightly transpa-
“rent, that neither the structure, nor the colour of any
“other rose, can give the slightest idea of their beauty ;
“ much less has any artist, except perhaps Van Huysum, in
“ one or two of his finest pictures, done this flower tolerable :
“justice. The flower is well drawn in the old Hortus
“« Eystettensis.”
We must not however pass over old Parkinson, to whom
we owe the first detailed account of this fine shrub; an
account that in spite of quaint style and homely language
has not yet been surpassed in distinctness of description, or
in information relating to the economy of the plant. At
that early period of its introduction (before 1629) our au-
thor had observed the bad effect of the vicinity of London
on its growth, as well as the difficulty there was of having —
it bloom perfectly, in any. part of this country. He remarks
the round flatténed calyx, the blue foliage and the even
serrature of the leaflets, as distinguishing it from all other
roses. Nor has the pale opaque yellow of the outer petals
of the flower, as distinguished from the bright golden
colour of the inner ones, escaped him. Had it scent,
he adds, it would be of all others of highest esteem.
He tells us it was first introduced from Constantinople by a
merchant of the name of Lete, that with him it failed; and
was again imported from the same place by a merchant, —
called Franqueville, with whom it prospered; and to whom
we probably owe the stock now in our gardens.
Miller, who is at fault throughout in regard to this plant,
asserts that it was brought by the French from Canada; if
so, it must have been first carried there. Some old ‘books
attribute the yellow colour of the flower to a rose having
been ingrafted on a stock of the Broom-plant! .
Our drawing was-made from a specimen kindly sent
to Mr, Edwards by. Mrs. Vicary of. Holywell, near Ox-”
ford, obtained from a garden belonging to Mr. Justice at
Sutton, near Abingdon.

pulchella of the twentieth article of this work. The bloom
is less showy than in that, yet of considerable beauty, but.
not so freely produced. We find no account of the size the

height of five or six feet, generally naked, except at the
branches below the spikes, where the foliage is numerous
ORs
and close; deaves oval lanceolate, about five inches long, and
from one to two broad, tapering for a greater length down-
wards than towards the summit, harsh. Spikes upright, many-
‘flowered, loose, scattered, sometimes near a foot long;
corollas of a tawny burnt yellow without, of a purer yellow
within; inodorous, and shaped like those of the Acanruus
or Bearsbreech. ‘The bloom begins to show itself in May
‘and June; and there is generally a succession of it on the
same plant until winter arrests the progress.
Commonly raised from seed. The soil it prefers is a
light sandy loam. Requires merely a protection from frost,
but should be otherwise kept as hardily as is consistent
with that precaution, and supplied with plenty of water.

nursery of Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and Milne, King’s

An annual plant, by no means common, although of lon
standing in our gardens, having been cultivated in 1757 by
Miller; who says that it had been brought a few years be-
fore from Egypt to the royal gardens at Paris. Very like ©
the common annual or mediterranean Stock. ¥
- The genus was instituted by Linneus, and distinguished
from Lunarta, chiefly by its sessile unilocular silicle, which
is not, as in that, conspicuously pedicled and divided into ©
two loculaments by a persistent detached dissepiment pa-
rallel with and equal to the valves, a
Gertner has however subsequently asserted that such a
dissepiment is present in Rrcorra, and has given in his car-
pological work an engraving of its silicle, in which that
part is shown as complete and distinct as in Lunaria, only
not so conspicuously pedicled. Willdenow has replied, and
maintained that Gertner has figured a silicle of Lunarra
. rediviva for one of Ricotra @gyptiaca. Dr. Roth, in his
“« Catalecta botanica,” rejoins in support of Gaertner, and
avers that the dissepiment is always present in the unripe
silicle, but being of a very tender delicate substance, it
breaks from the frame of the suture, and adheres to the valve
opposite to that on which the seed is seen to lie, showing
itself in partially detached scaly fragments. But Gzrtner’s
figure is plainly of a ripe silicle belonging to the present
plant (and not, as Willdenow gratuitously avers, to Lunarta
redtviva); in which, however, no one else pretends to have
seen a dissepiment in the state he has represented it. So
that we are to suppose either that he has met with an ano-
malous specimen, or (with less candour) that he has pre-
sented us with an offspring of his prepossession. Mr,
Browa, whose accuracy merits the greatest confidence, has
always found this part ultimately obliterated, although
clearly present in an early stage. —
Sir James Smith has recorded a new species (tenuifolia) in
the first part of the second volume of the ‘“ Prodromus Florez
grece;” in anote on which Mr. Brown is made to say, that
“the fruit.of the genus is not constantly unilocular;” which
seems to us to be in no way the equivalent of what he has
said himself concerning that part, in the character we have
quoted. from the Hortus Kewensis.
The seed’ should be sown in a sheltered border, where the
plants are to remain. This will come up in the autumn,
and the plants will flower early in the summer. It may be
also sown in the spring; when the plants will flower later.
The drawing was made at the nursery of Messrs. Lee and
Kennedy, Hammersmith.

A species of which we have not been able to trace any
account. It comes very close to the siberian spectabilis,
especially in regard to the corolla; but there the raceme is
simple and the pedicles are without bractes. Perhaps other
differences may exist; for the latter has not yet reached
our gardens, and is only known to us by a slight descrip-
tion and the figure in Ameenitates academice ; unless in-
deed a specimen in the Banksian Herbarium from Nootka
Sound should prove to be the same, which we suspect is
the fact.
Formosa is the nearest to evimia of any species cultivated
in this country ; but in that the lobes at the base of the
corolla are longer and narrower, and not, as here, rounded —
and prominent at the edge; neither is the apex of the faux
two-lobed, nor the stigma four-cornered, but has only two
«
cartilaginous corners or angles, and is herbaceous and
rounded at the base. The whole plant in formosa is like-
wise upon a far smaller scale, and the foliage of a dark
dull glaucous green.
Eximia was introduced by the late Mr. Lyon from North
America, about four years ago. It seems not to have fallen
in the way of ‘Michaux or Mr. Pursh, at least we cannot
find it in their works,
At present by far the most ornamental plant of the
genus; and in a situation that suits it, soon forms a large
close tuft, throwing up stems of nearly three feet in height,
with bunches of flowers in proportion. The foliage is of a
considerable breadth, and of a peculiarly lively tender
green. Blooms in May and June. Perfectly hardy. Pro-
pagated by dividing the tuberous knobs that compose the
Toot. :
The genus has been in some recent publications separated
into Corypauis and Fumarra; but the editors of the Hortus
Kewensis have not been seduced to adopt so wanton an
- innovation. a2 }

One of the latest acquisitions for our gardens ; and not
before recorded as being to be met with in them. Found
by Mr. Brown in New South Wales, in the vicinity of
Port Jackson; and first introduced by Messrs. Lee and
VOL. I, P
SEO ee ans
Kennedy, who raised.it, .from imported seed, at their
nursery in Hammersmith, where our drawing was made in
July last.
A perennial herbaceous plant, with a low upright suf-
frutescent reddish brown rootstock, branching out into
many short arms, each of which is terminated by a fascicle
of several natfow ensiform edgewisely bifarious evergreen
leaves, forming a rather close grassy tuft; stems solitary,
upright, from between the centre leaves of each fascicle,
than which they are sometimes higher, ‘at others scarcely
even with, smooth, terminated by a hard sphacelate many-
flowered smooth bivalved spathe; flowers parted from each
other by single membranous concealed bractes, expanding
in succession, seldom two at once, tender, fugacious, of a
pale violet or grey colour; each of the three large extended
outer segments overlapping the other by one of its edges in-
dependently of the small inner alternating connivent ones,
a disposition usual to the whole of the segments in the CO-
rolla of the Conrorrx; but, “as far as our observation has
reached, an anomaly in that of the Ensarz. The ulti-
mately refracted group of stigmas of some of the species
is likewise a peculiarity. ibis
The genus comes nearer to Anisrea and Wirsenra, than
to any others we are acquainted with. The present appetla-
tion has been assigued it by Mr. Brown, in his valuable
work on the New Holland plants, in commemoration of
his friend, Colonel Paterson, formerly Lreutenant-Governor
of the colony of New South Wales; a gentleman whose
name has been long familiar to the naturalist. In adopting
it, a slight passe-droit is manifestly offered to Monsieur
Labillarditre, by whom the genus had been previously
established under the name of GeEnosirts; less distinctly
indeed, and from a single species.
% Belongs to the greenhouse ; thrives in peat-earth, and.
requires a plentiful supply of water in the summer season. _

A genus connected by the closest affinity with Amaryxuts,
from the larger tubular-flowered species of which it differs _
only by the greater regularity in the disposition of the seg-
ments of the corolla. i
The present plant is a native of New South Wales, and
has been very generally confounded with Crinum astaticum ;
the cause, most probably, of its not having found a place in
the late edition of the Hortus Kewensis. But it differs
from that species, by the bulb, which grows upon a large
rootstock entirely above ground, is smooth and of a cy-
lindric form, resembling very much that of the leek, ex-
cept in dimension, which varies from the circumference
of a man’s arm to three times that size, and even more;
also by a broader flattened stem, and by a style that is
shorter than the filaments. Leaves many, fasciculate, mul-
tifariously divergent, broadly lorate-lanceolate, involutely
concave, smooth and entire at the edges, two or three feet
, P2
long. It is generally larger than asiaticum, but not so y large
as amabile the finest flower we know of this natural order.
A stove plant. Has been known in our collections, ac-
cording to Donn’s Hortus cantabrigiensis, from the year
1790; ‘Dut we are not informed by whom it was introduced,
Multiplied both by off-sets, and bulbiform seed; of gpey
cultivation, and flowers freely.
The specimen from which the drawing was made was
“sent us from the nursery of Messrs. Colville, King’s Road,
Chelsea. It was small and few flowered, comparatively
with many others.

In most of the late systematic enumerations of plants, the
“Moss Rose stands recorded as a separate species, by the title
of muscosa. Butin the more recent account of the genus by
“Sir James Smith, we find it merged as a variety in pro-
“wincialis. 'That-it is one either of that or centifolia, is an
opinion that dates from the first mention of the plant. The -
4
following is the account given by Sir, James Smith of the
species provincialis. Ve ee of
“ Native-of the south of Europe, at least it:is so con-
sidered, though a plant too generally cultivated for any
“ thing to be averred on this subject. With us it is hardy,
“flowering in June and July. Most of the varieties are
‘increased by roots or layers, and remain tolerably distinct;
“ the different forms of variety y are least permanent. Stems
“usually 3 or 4 feet high, straight, very prickly. Leaflets —
“5, of a rounded. bluntish figure, veiny and rugose. — S¢i-
~ nulas linear-lanceolate, acute, undivided ; most entire in
“their lower part. Flowers two or three, or more, at the
““ top of each branch, large, delightfully fragrant, of that
“peculiar bright crimson ‘hue, popularly termed a rose-
“ colour, with broad brown stains on the backs of the outer
“ petals, which are permanent in the otherwise white variety,
“‘ represented in Miss Lawrance’s t. 4. In all our cultivated
‘varieties the flowers are double, with slight remains of
“ stamens or styles; so that the fruit never ripens. We have
“‘ however seen, in the ample collection of roses at Messrs.
“ Lee and Kennedy’s, perfectly single flowers of the Moss
“Rose, which those experienced cultivators have proved
-to be only a variety of the Common Provins. Rose. In-
““ deed we have been told in Italy, that this variety loses
“ its mossiness, almost immediately, in that climate.”
How the Moss Rose has been proved to be a variety of
‘the Common Proyins one, remains untold, The present
single Moss variety, we know has not been produced in
that state from séed ; but reduced to it from the double or
rather full state (either accidentally or intentionally) by
peculiar culture. Accordingly we find it to be barren, as.
we should have expected from the mode by whicly that
_ state had been induced; but which most probably it would
not-have been, had it sprung up single from the seed,
The only evidence (ve know of a mutual variation between
the Moss and Common Rose, is the similarity of the two
“tr alf points‘except the moss-like viscous efflorescence of the
_first; a difference of such a nature as may be easily sup-
posed incidental, and indeed is admitted to be so in one of
.the varieties of another species of the genus. .
Rossig, who has lately published a work on Roses, con-
‘taining good coloured figures, says, that the Moss Rose js
‘found on the Alps... Ane? satply : :
Brotero does not mention any tendency in it to lose its
mossiness in the climate of Portugal.
Known in this country in 1724. Miller first saw it in
Dr. Boerhaave’s garden at Leyden in 1727, and then took
jt for a variety of the Provins Rose; but afterwards, find-
ing it of more difficult increase, changed his opinion.
Usually propagated by layers. The present, as well as
the double white variety, are rare and high priced.
The gardener’s title of the species is by some derived from
Provence; by others from Provins, the town in Champagne.
The drawing was made partly from a plant in the fine
collection of roses at the nursery of Messrs. Lee and Ken-
nedy, Hammersmith; and partly from another in Mr.
Shailer’s nursery, Great Chelsea. ;

A plant that has passed, very generally in our gardens for
Viota uniflora, but with scarcely any better claim than
that of being indigenous in the siberian districts of the
Tussian empire as well as the other, Uniflora is a linnwan
species, and stood at first without a synonym, but described
as having a one-flowered three-leaved stem, cordate dentate
leaves, with very short petioles and a dwarf peduncle;
features that would by themselves sufficiently decide the
difference of the plants. But.Linneus has subsequently in
the Mantissa adduced for the synonym of his species, a
VOlpio mame Q
plant described and figured in the Flora sibirica of Gmelin,
which makes the difference palpable, and leaves it beyond
dispute. Nor do we recognise our plant in any recorded
Viora. In the Banksian Herbarium we find specimens of
it received from the Chevalier Pallas, which were gathered
on the Altay mountains in Siberia, on the confines of the
chinese dominions. It has a flower that varies in size, but
which is always larger than the leaf, and the largest of any
Species known to us. The foliage varies from ovate rounded
and longer than the petiole, to oval and slightly attenuated
each way, but especially towards the petiole, which is then
longer than that: a variation perceptible even in the two
spontaneous specimens of the Banksian Herbarium. The
whole plant is smooth, the peduncles robust, resem-
bling scapes, and as well as the calyx of a livid blueish
green; spur of the corolla scarcely extended beyond the
lobes of the calyx. The blossom cannot be said to be fra-
grant, yet when smelled near, a bitterish, but not un-
pleasant odour is perceptible. )
Being still rare, it is carefully kept in garden-pots in a.
frame or pit with the alpine plants. But seeding freely, °
and being easily propagated by parting the root, it will
scan be common, and may then be treated like other hardy
violets.
Its introduction is known to have been from Russia;
but we have not ascertained precisely the time when it
came, by whom sent, nor by whom received.
‘We should observe, that flowers produced early in the
summer are often more than twice the size of those pro-
duced at a more advanced period of the year.
The drawing was made from a plant in the nursery of
Messrs. Fraser, in Sloane Square. It flowers for months
in succession.

Q2
This fine species constantly rising in value by the pro-
duction of fresh varieties of the richest and brightest
colours, is becoming one of the most general ornaments
of our flower-gardens in autumn, It is raised from seed
with the freedom of an annual, and the varieties are multi-
plied and perpetuated with the certainty and extensiveness
of a perennial. Only two species are yet known to us,
-and these separated by marks, both wavering and indis-
tinct. Frustranea is however, as far as we have observed,
a slenderer plant than the present, with a narrower foliage,
smaller flower, and a stem with a more conspicuous coating
of the whitish hoar-like effloresence, terined bloom in
fruit. Both species grow to the height of seven or eight
feet, with stems in proportion, and are leafy and branched
throughout. The filaments of the stamens are elastic, and
by extension admit of the anther being protruded above the
floret by the impulse of the stigmas from within; as, charged
with pollen, they advance to their station through its
$-valved membrane which opposes their outlet at the sumr
mit ; withdrawing the same to its place when these have
passed. ~
A tender out-doors plant, requiring a deep bed of rich
mould for its cultivation; and that the roots should be
taken up and preserved from frost and wet during the win-
ter, ina shelter where they can be coyered with dry sand
or ashes. When the roots are divided, in order to multiply
the plant, care should be taken to remove a portion of the
rootstock, containing at least one eye or bud in the de-
tached part. ;
Native of Mexico. Introduced by the way of Spain in
1789, by the late Lady Bute.

The Campanutas, with an elongated prismatic capsule,
as in the present species, have been repeatedly marked out
as the stock of a new genus. They were actually formed
into one by L’Heritier, in his ‘ Sertum anglicum,” by the
title of Prismarocarpus, and its character developed with
the sagacity and precision which belonged to that excellent
botanist. But in every subsequent general system or cata-
logue of plants, we find that all the species which composed
,
it, have returned within the pale of Campanura; where,
indeed, they sometimes occupy a distinct place, to which
their former generic character is prefixed as a sectional
phrase: an arrangement which we confess in this instance
appears to us to be the more convenient and desirable of
the two, and prevents the needless increase of new names.
Monsieur Desfontaines has ascertained the synonyms
from Tournefort, by a reference to the Herbarium of that
author. He has also dropped an opinion that our plant may
be a variety of hybrida; but gratuitously, and without sug-
gesting a reason why he thinks so, or adducing a proof of
the fact of its being so. When the corolla is closed, five
flat folds are formed by the doubling of the divisions of the
limb, which extend themselves in the shape of as many
wings or angles, like the feathers of an arrow; a circum-
stance that has suggested the specific name.
A hardy annual, but not common in our collections, It
requires no other care, after being sown in the spring, than
that of seeing that the plants are parted by sutficient dis-
tances by thinning them out, and that weeds are kept
down. Cultivated by Ray before 1636. Native of ‘Tur-
key.

“Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and Milne, King’s Road, Par-
son’s Green, Fulham, in July last.

A genus familiar, by means of some:species or other, to
the inhabitants of every part of Europe, but in all instances
within that boundary only known as a purely herbaceous
plant. ‘Towards the warmer regions beyond that boundary,
others appear of the description of undershrubs, with a solid
woody permanent stem; genuine Bell-flowers, however, in
all other respects. Of such the island of Madeira has af-
forded two species now cultivated in our gardens, of which
the present is one. Its stem seldom exceeds a foot in
height, is branched at top, where the flower-stems are
produced, and is often irregularly and partially protuberant.
‘Lhe herbaceous. portion of the plant is lactescent, as
throughout the genus. _ Leaves substantial, of a tender
lively green, glossy at the upper surface, in the broad-
leaved variety sometimes nearly three inches across. Jnfto-
rescence a leafy upright patent stiffened pyramidal panicle;
flowers scattered, many, but not close, of a burnt-yellow
colour, firm and substantial, glossy, scentless. Calya, re-
markable for being of the colour of the corolla, and-for the:
upright direction of the leaflets. This has assumed the
form by which it abides long before the narrower paler
corolla which is contained within it; and appears for some
time in its centre as an oblong pointed scarcely taller
cylinder, at last gradually thrown open by the elastic
- force of. the stigmas in extending themselves after they
have received the pollen of the anthers under its enclosure ;
the segments then fall back in the intervals of the calyx.
Stigmas five, ultimately radiate to the base, furred at the
back, where the pollen is retained in a thick coat, carried
off from the anthers which have been pressed against them
at that part by the narrow space of the corolla during the
progress of their extension. ;
Introduced by Mr. Masson in 1777: but even at this
day far from a common plant in our collections, notwith-
standing its handsome bloom and easy culture. If planted
in a proportionate pot of common sandy loam, and placed
in the greenhouse in winter, it requires no more care than
the commonest vegetable of that department of the garden.
To us it has the formal appearance of an artificial plant.
- Chiefly, we believe, raised from seed, which is sometimes
ripened with us.
__ According to Mr. Masson’s notes preserved in the Bank-
sian Library, the variety « is found at Madeira on spots
near the coast, @ on rocks in the interior of the island.
- The drawing was made from a fine specimen, with seve-
tal flower-spikes, at the nursery of Messrs. Whitley, Brames,
and Milne, in the King’s Road, Parson’s Green, Fulham.

been long divided. Examined in the expanded flower,

completely excreted by the anthers, had coalesced into
masses definite both in number and form, and these had
been taken up by appropriate processes of the pistils. Viewed
thus in their final station on the stigma, these bodies were
_ by some observers held to be the stamens of a gynandrous
a
flower, while the remainder of the stamineous structure was
left unaccounted for. By others, who combined with the
view of those parts that of the natural. relation of thé
parent-plant to the rest of the vegetable system, and. drew
their conclusion in part from analogy, the same bodies
were surmised to be the distinct secretions of the cells of
the five bilocular anthers of as many stamens of a pen-
tandrous flower; and both their formation‘and station to be
secondary. A supposition which has been recently reduced
to certain knowledge, and the structure and economy of
these parts ascertained by Mr. Brown in a series of observa-
tions made at much earlier stages of their formation than it
had occurred to others to observe them in. oie
Catorropis consists of but one species besides the pre-
sent, which is a tall upright plant, sometimes acquiring
the height of 6 or 8 feet, covered, unless at the corolla, by
a soft white deciduous down; leafless, except towards the
upper part, producing throughout a thick milk-coloured
juice, which presents itself on the slightest puncture.
Corolla purplish white, with five vertical prominent com-
pressed appendages, fixed at equal-distances along the out-
side of the stamineous tube, resembling so many diminutive
porcelane handles, or brackets. pre ad
These are the nectaries of Linneus; are partly. hollow
‘and partly solid, but contain no liquid as far as we observed ;
and of the share they bear beyond ornament, in the economy
‘of the plant, nothing seems to be known.

Although the blossom of the present species does not
display the splendid colours which distinguish that of the.
greater portion of the genus, the delicacy of its form, its
abundance and long-continued succession, go far to atone
this failure. The stem is climbing, clothed with a dense
soft down, and attains the length of twenty feet or
more, extending itself on all sides by slender numerously
flowered branches. The foliage is unequally trilobate,
the side lobes being little more than the sites of obliterated
R&
——
lobes; both surfaces are coated with a soft velvet-like pile.
The flowers diffuse a fragrance which reminds us of that
which proceeds from a medley of the finer kinds of ripe
fruit. The corolla and inside of the calyx are of a trans-

An addition to our gardens subsequent to the enuméra-
tion of the species of this genus in the late edition of the
Hortus Kewensis. Native of Mexico, and raised, as well
as fulgens, which made its appearance in Europe at the same
time, from seed brought home by Messrs. Humboldt and —
Bonpland from their celebrated travels. Introduced from
Paris about a year ago. May be known from -fulgens at
first sight, altho’ closely akin, by a smooth shining surface,
which in the other is clothed by a short close pubescence,
imparting to it a paler opaque appearance, as if it were ob-
scured by dust. Splendens is the taller-growing plant, pro-
duces offsets from the axis of the rootstock in a horizontal
direction, not from the side, perpendicularly; the leaf is-
X
flat, and inno way revolute at the margin; and the corolla
is of a still deeper ‘and brighter poppy-colour than in the
other. The long-familiar cardinalis, closely allied to both,.
has a corolla of the same form and colour, but upon a much
smaller scale, an elliptic rugose decursively petioled leaf,
not broad at the hase; and embracing a considerable por-
tion of the. circumference of the stem, as in both its above
relatives, ; '
At present our plant is generally kept in the greenhouse;
but is in fact hardy. When grown in large-sized pots
‘filled with rich loam, and not of too loose a texture, will
attain the height of four or five feet, form many branches, —
and continue to show a succession of bloom from July to
November. Multiplied with great facility by suckers, and
sometimes, we are told, ‘by seed, which it ripens on the
‘continent. — a ma ei
‘Miller, in the 7th edition of his Dictionary (Raruntium. 7.
‘9.), has a species, the description of which, as far as it
‘goes, agrees with our plant in every thing, except in the
mention of a short spike of flowers, and quite entire leaves.
‘He says it was taller, larger flowered, and more tender than
cardinalis, and that it came from Campeachy. We do not
-find it adopted or noticed elsewhere; but have some sus-
-picion» that it was of the present species, which has been
- ‘since lost in our collections. .

_ A species remarkable for uniting in itself the blossom
of the Cinquefoil and the fruit of the Strawberry ; but has
no other value in the garden than that which may be put
on the fine bright poppy-coloured fruit as an ornament,
being on the other hand destitute of all flavour and
_ fragrance. Native of the mountains of the continent of
India, where it was seen by Dr. Buchanan on the sand by
the sides of the rivers in Nepaul. We hear that there
is still another yellow-flowered species with insipid scarlet
fruit, which is as peculiar to the islands of India as this is
to the continent, but which has not yet, we believe, reached
the european gardens.
Introduced by the late Mr. Charles Greville, by whom it.
was cultivated at Paddington in 1804. Usually treated as
a greenhouse plant; but we have seen it in a still more
‘
hirsuto: stipule gemine, parve, lanceolate, opposite
flourishing state in the open ground at Messrs. Whitley,
Brames’, and Milne’s nursery, Parson’s Green.
The drawing was made from a plant kindly communicated
to Mr. Edwards by Mr. N. 8. Hodson, of South Lambeth.
Sir James Smith, misled by an unfaithful figure and im-
erfect specimen of the species, had conceived the seed to
he baccate, having a covering of juicy pulp as in the Rasp-
berry and Blackberry, instead of the dry one of the Straw-
berry, which really belongs to it. Combining this charac-
ter with the yellow bloom and biformed calyx, he has been
induced to make our plant the foundation of anew genus,
which he has called Ducursnea, to commemorate Mons,
Duchesne, the ingenious author of the illustrations of the
species of Fracarta, Taking it however for granted, that
the misconceived nature of the seed has been mainly relied
on in framing the new genus, we consider the structure as
baseless, and deserted by the framer,

In distinguishing the characters of Convoryuius and
had combined differences taken from the
stigma with others from the corolla. But the differences
of the one not being uniformly conjoined with those of
the other, and in the corolla having no definable limit, he
‘had been repeatedly led to refer to Convoxvurus plants
with the stigma allotted to Iromaa, as in the present in-
stance. Many similar transpositions having accumulated,
from the attempts of succeeding botanists to conform in
‘their arrangement of species to thé characters so constituted,
the two genera had become nearly useless in relation to
each other. But Jacquin, in his late reform of their cha-
racters, has relied singly upon the difference of the stigmas;
and no dislocation seems to be thence inferred in the natural
connexion of the species that could have been avoided by
more complex combinations, as the species are now found

to fall into their places with facility, and to range to ad-
vantage. Mr. Brown has since’ thought it necessary to de-
tach from both genera a division, under the appellation of
Catysrecia, which he distinguishes by a calyx which is
enclosed between two leafy bractés, and by a capsule which
is unilocular.
The present plant is a native of the East Indies, where,
according to Dr. Roxburgh, it grows in. hedges and
thickets; flowers during the wet ‘season; and affords pro-
vender to cattle. Jacquin mentions it as native of the Isle
of France. The former says the stem grows some fathoms
in length, and dies down every year to the root; the lat-
ter, that in the Isle of France it winds round the trunks
of trees to the height of twenty feet, and does not die
down annually ; altho’ we-see it certainly does when ‘culti-
vated in our stoves. ‘The root is perennial, and consists of
elongated round fleshy lactescent tubers, brown on the out-
side, Leaves. 3-6 inches. long, palmate, 7-nerved, divided
to beyond: the: middle into 5-5-7 lobes, the outer ones of
which are smallest. The bloom is ornamental, and appears
about July in many flowered cymose panicles, from the
axils of-the upper leaves. Corolla about 2 inches deep,
‘bright rose-colour within’ the faux, paler at the limb; on
the outside the colour shines thro’ a white porcelane-like
glaze. Seed woolly. |
Introduced in 1799 by Mr. Thomas Gibbs. We owe the
opportunity of taking the present drawing to Mr. John
‘Hall, in whose hothouse, at Notting Hill, the plant
flowered this summer in great perfection. We had never
before seen it in flower; but we had found young plants of
it at Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and Milne’s nursery.

*Clusius was in possession of this plant in 1594, and is,
we believe, the first writer who mentions it. The pre-
cise date of its appearance in' Europe has, however, never
been fixed, and the country it 1s natural to, is still a ques-
tion. The Hortus Kewensis makes it indigenous of the
East Indies; Mr. R. A. Salisbury, who has devoted an ela-
- borate treatise to the plant, of Mexico. As far as we have
_ searched, the latter opinion alone seems to be supported by
any thing like direct evidence. No writer we have turned to |
even hints at an authority for its having been found wild
in any part of the East Indies. The title of “ indicus,”
constantly joined to its specific phrase by the older botanists,
aS BSE em ; oa
es!
with them might refer to either East or West Indies. But
in the history of the plants of Mexico, compiled from ob-
servations made on the spot by Hernandez, the plant 1s
said in precise words “ to be produced in the temperate
and cool districts (of Mexico), and to be a kind of
Narcissus, not known in the old world.” Here we can
hardly avoid inferring, from the first part of the sentence,
that it is meant to be recorded as indigenous; although we
may be inclined to dispute the authority of a naturalist of
two hundred years ago, who presumes to decide a plant’s
not being native of any other part of the globe than Ame-
rica. Father Camell, again, whose account of the vege-
tables found in Luzon (one of the Philippine isles) has been -
added by Ray to his own work, tells us unequivocally that
the plant had been imported by the Spaniards from Mexico,
by whom it was called Vara de S. José, Saint Joseph’s wand,
and that it was known by the name of the Mexican Aspho-
del. The Flora peruviana, on the other hand, enumerates it
merely as a garden-plant in Peru; altho’ that work is cited
by Monsieur Redouté, as well as the learned writer of the
botanical articles in Rees’s Cyclopedia, as enumerating it
for one of the wild plants of that country.
The appellation it has obtained with us of “ The Tube-
rose, evidently originates in its having been distinguished
by all the older botanists from the bulbous-rooted Hyacinth,
by the description of the “ Hyacinth witha tuberous root,”
Hyacinthus tuberosus, or tuberosd radice. The present ge-
neric name is sometimes written Poryantrues; but since it
is admitted to be compounded of wor and aybog, alluding to
its being a favourite in towns, and not of zoAue and ayes,
we shall scarcely be thought pedantic in saying, that the
spelling at the head of this article is right.
_ The roots are annually imported by the Italian warehouse-
men from Italy and Portugal, and sometimes from the
warmer parts of North America. They arrive early in the
spring, and if then planted, by a slight assistance from
the hotbed, flower in the open air about September. The
main root perishes after flowering, and is replaced by a
brood of offsets, which become flower-bearers in their turn, °

Ambigua was first distinguished as a species under that
appellation by Professor Murray. Yet, according to Dr.
Roth, the plant which that botanist had in view was not
the present, but one between it and /utea, nearer akin to the
latter, and since named media by the Doctor, but adopted
by Persoon in his ‘‘ Synopsis,” under the title of intermedia.
Thus, should the two plants prove to be really distinct
species, the name of ambigua will designate the one for
which it was not originally intended. In intermedia the
stem is described as smooth ; not pubescent, as in the pre-
sent ambigua, the leaves pubescent only at the edge and
base; not so over both surfaces, especially the under, the
bractes smooth; not pubescent on both sides, the leaflets
of the calyx equal; not conspicuously unequal, the upper
lip of the corolla obtusely bifid; not broad rounded and
slightly emarginate, the middle segment of the lower lip
obtuse and straight; not acute, and somewhat reflex at the
top. The flower of intermedia is also much smaller than |
in our plant, of a paler sulphur colour, and its calyx
nearly twice as large.
_ Ambigua is a hardy plant, and will grow almost any-
where without care. Propagated by ‘seed and by parting
the root. Blooms in July and August. Native of the more
southern parts of Europe, especially of Germany, chiefly
affecting mountainous situations. No mention is made of
its possessing any portion of the medicinal qualities for
which the closely allied purpurea is famed. |

We do not find this species registered in any publica-
tion that has fallen in our way, or if it is, we have not
recognised it. At a first glance our plant might be easily
mistaken for a variety of the more common Enrica ceriniho-
ides, with which it participates to a considerable extent in
habit and colour. But in fumida the foliage is on a much
smaller scale than in that, the inflorescence disposed by twos
and fours, not in numerously crowded-flowered bunches; its
corolla is also remarkably distended and of nearly three times
the circumference of that of cerinthoides; its anthers are
awned, in that awnless; the stigma inclosed in that, pro-
truded in this. In éwmida the corolla is about an inch long,
in the other somewhat longer; in both of the finest scarlet
hue, clouded by the pubescent covering of the exterior
surface. ;
Introduced, we understand, about three or four years »
ago by Mr. Niven, from the Cape of Good Hope. It re-
quires, like all the congeners from that part of the world,
to be cultivated in sandy peat-mould, and sheltered from
frost in an airy light greenhouse. We have seen no speci-
mens of it much above a foot high, and even such are as
yet very rare. The drawing was taken this summer at
Messrs. Colville’s nursery in the King’s Road, Chelsea.

We learn from Mr. Pursh, that the native abode of
this plant extends from Pensylvania to Virginia, and
that shady rocks are the situations it principally affects.
The first mention we find of the species is in Will-
denow’s late enumeration of the plants cultivated in the
Berlin garden. It has not found a place in the last edition
of the Hortus Kewensis. From the common Fumarra
lutea it differs in being biennial, not perennial; in having a
corolla with pointed petals, not blunt and rounded; a spur
more than half the length of the flower, straight and equal to
the pedicle, not deflex, and several times shorter than both
pedicle and corolla; by a seed-vessel which is torose and
twice as long as the pedicle, not linear, even, and shorter
than the pedicle. The corolla is of a golden yellow, more
than half an inch long, and has a protuberance below the
middle of the undermost petal. In reality, were it not for
the colour of the flower, dutea would not have presented
itself as the point of comparison, but sempervirens, to which
it is far nearer akin. :
We have not learned the date of its introduction, but
suspect that it has found its way here from the parisian
gardens, where it had probably travelled from that of Ber-
lin, in which it is known to have been raised by Willdenow
VOL. I. T
from seed, sent him from America by one of his correspond-
ents in that country.
Tolerably hardy; but is best secured in a warm sheltered
border, where it will flower about June, and ripen the seed
freely. "

Fuscatum, like its congeners, is found growing on the
trunks and branches of the trees, somewhat in the manner
of the Misletoe with us. It is a perennial herbaceous plant,
seldom exceeding a foot and half in height, with the fibres
of the root thick and fleshy; stem sheathed by the lower
portions of the foliage; deaves coriaceous, distich, patent,

breadth, sometimes rounded with a short point at the top,
sometimes lanceolate, sometimes of a silvery hue beneath
and thickly covered with minute green dots, at others
purplish. JVower-stalk long, terminal, upright, entirely
clothed by alternate sphacelate deciduous sheaths, in
strong plants bearing several spikes? Spike refracted,
many-flowered, pointing one way, with the flowers dis-
posed in the form of avorymb. Corolla sessile, about three
parts of an inch long; petals of a dusky reddish brown;
lip of a yellowish herbaceous colour, with a firmness and
gloss that gives it the appearance of being formed of wax;
scent very faint.
Native of the West Indies. Found by Swartz in Ja-
maica, on trees growing on the mountains. Introduced by
Lord Gardner in 1790. Produces several flowering stems
from the same root at various times of the year. Requires
the treatment which we have already recommended for
another species (see fol. 17) from the same regions.

_ Nearly akin to Putox carolina, but in that the stem and
foliage are pubescent ; in this entirely smooth, except as to
a very minute loose pile upon the stalks of the corymb.
The flowers are here of a more brilliant violet-purple than
in that, the foliage of a far darker and more shining green,
and of a considerably firmer thicker substance: but the
more remarkable distinction is the suffrutescent stem,
which continues undecayed, and in leaf at the lower part
‘the winter through. coe
Willdenow, in his account of the plants cultivated in
the Berlin garden, has been the first to establish the
species, and by the above name. Mr. Pursh, unacquainted
with this circumstance, has inserted it in the supplement
to his North American Flora by another.
Native of South Carolina. Blooms with us from the
end of July to the end of October. Seldom exceeds two
feet in height. Ornamental, and succeeds in the open air
if planted in a warm sheltered situation. Being yet rare,
we have found it more frequently cultivated in pots, in
order to be placed in the pit or frame during the winter,
Propagated by parting the roots.

It has been the fate of this plant to be removed from its
original situation in Jusricra to be the stock of a separate
genus by two botanists, so nearly at the same time, that
neither seems to have been apprized of the intention of the.
other, Hence its late appearance under two new names.
That which we have adopted, in conformity with the
Hortus Kewensis, is derived from a trivial feature in the
anthers ; the other is bestowed in compliment to one of the
Counts Harrach, who is said to be a great encourager of
Botany in Austria, where he resides. Both the botanists
had, however, neglected to insert among its generic cha-
racteristics, the feature which is chiefly relied on to keep
the genus asunder from Rvetria, viz. the unilocular anthers.
Indeed one of them has not even noticed it in his general
description. ‘his omission has been supplied by Mr.
Brown in the character we have prefixed to the present
article. In the closely kindred genus ApHeranpra, the
anthers are likewise unilocular, but the corolla is bilabiate,
not one-lipped, asin this.
Our shrub, we are told, has not exceeded the height of
two feet in any european collection. The bark on the stem
is greyish, on the branches, which are all axillary, green.
_ The spikes terminal, numerous, imbricate, and quadran-
gular as in so many species of this natural order. The co-
rollas about an inch and half long, of an opaque salmon-
colour, more or less deep, sometimes approaching to ver-
million.
Native of the East Indies. Introduced by Dr. William
Roxburgh, about the year 1800: according to whom it
flowers the. year round in the Bengal-Gardens, and becomes
a pretty large shrub. —
With us a stove-plant; propagated by cuttings. When it
has several branches, and the spikes terminating these are
completely in bloom, it is certainly very ornamental.

Milne’s nursery, King’s Road, Parson’s Green.

A. native Honeysuckle of China and Japan, where, ac-
cording to Kempfer, it is known by the name of “ Gold
and Silver Flowers ;” the corolla changing from a silvery —
~ white to a golden yellow. Its mode of growth is-similar to
the common Honeysuckle of our edges; and can be no
_where seen to such advantage as planted in the border of a
conservatory, where a proper support to wind its long
branches upon has been provided. About the middle of
summer a profusion of bloom appears, of the richest fra-
grance; the odour not of the kind afforded by the european
species, but rather approaching that of the Orange-flower,
the Tuberose, and Cape Jasmine. It is evergreen, and co-

vered throughout with a short close pubescence. All the
leaves are distinct and petioled; but the petioles of the
upper ones are in fact connate, encircling the branch, in
the way of the true perfoliate leaf, usual in the upper
foliage of this genus,
The species is remarkable, as partaking of the characters
of both the divisions under which the rest of the genus
have been commonly arranged. It has the long flower and
twining stem of the Periclymena, with the solitary two-
flowered axillary peduncles of the Chamecerasa; thus un-
dermining Jussieu’s genera, Xyrosrzon and Caprirotium,
as distinguished from Lonicera, and confirming the pro-
priety of preserving the latter so far at least entire. Fi-
. gures of the plant frequently occur in chinese hangings and
drawings, it being, as we are told, in great estimation in
China for its beauty and fragrance.
Introduced in 1806 by the Court of Directors of the East
India Company, in their ship the Hope, Capt. Pendergrass.
Sent by Mr. William Kerr.
The drawing was made this summer, from a plant in the
conservatory reserved for chinese plants, in the nursery

to-contain many more figures than: are in the former part.
This had been already communicated in: manuscript to
Monsieur Poiret, who has introduced the substance into a
late volume of the supplement to Lamarck’s Encyclopedia.
We haye not, however, been able to discover our plant in
any specics. It agrees in part with éridynamum ; hie tthe
stem im that-is described as herbaceous and, prickly, and no
mention is made of the species being polygamous, nor of

there again the barren flowers are not tridynamous, viz. with
three anthers large, the others small. KP i

that genus has been reduced to. Soranum by Monsieur Dunal. ~
The: species is ‘shrubby, flexuose, dichotomously. branched,
clothed by a close short pile of stellately pencilled stipitate
hairs; ‘arid has Wot, we believe, exceeded four feet in height

tween the leaves, so as» to be. alternate with. these as

across, of a bright violet, blue, with a, yellow 5-rayed star,
answering to a tomentose‘one of as many rays on. the out-
side: tle primary one of each bunch fertile, with a ‘calyx
armed with prickles ‘and ‘stowing with the germen of
the future berry, as that grows: the.others barren, and we
‘may observe, -that as no offspring is ‘confided to their) care,
so no arms have béen bestowed on them, and ‘they fall
when the flower falls. The corolla of both flowers is
jrregular, but that of the barren one more conspicuously
so, the'angles or segments being separated by much deeper
sinuses than in the fertile one. The longest Jeaves we
have seen were about six inches long and three broad; of
an elongated ovate form, and sinuately lobed with shal-
low rounded side-lobes, generally unequal at their base,
usually beset by a few tawny subulate prickles scattered
along the nerves on both surfaces, but more thickly on
the petiole. The whole foliage is often tinged with a
tawny yellow hue on the upper surface, but is always white
beneath; its upper lobe far attenuated, but blunt.
Said to be native of Mexico. Perhaps the most orna-
mental species of the genus; affording a succession of bloom
from the middle of summer to the beginning of winter.
Requires to be kept constantly in the tan-pit of the hot-
house; but not in too crowded a situation, for in such it
soon loses the lower foliage and appears ragged.
Introduced by Mr. A. B. Lambert, of Bo
yton House,
who has distributed it to others with his usual
liberality.

Grows naturally in shady places in Italy and the Levant.
Found also by Monsieur Desfontaines in Barbary, where it
grew in the rocky fissures of Mount Atlas, Cultivated in
our gardens in 1640,
A biennial plant; seldom exceeding two feet and a half in
height; flowers either blue or white, upright, small, produced
in close numerous-flowered somewhat conyex cymes at the
end of the branches, which are placed at the upper part of
the stem; /eaves loosely alternate, ovate, acuminate, une-
qually serrate, smooth as well as the rest of the plant. In
bloom from July to September. Both scientific and ver-
nacular appellations have been suggested, by the long tube
or neck of the corolla,
Propagated by seed, which should be sown in the au-
tumn, according-to Miller, soon after\it is ripe. When the
plants are large enough they are to be transplanted into a
border, with an eastern aspect, where they may remain till
the autumn following, and then be planted where they are to
flower, which they will do the next summer. But the plant
thrives best on old walls and ruins, where it will shed its
seed and multiply without any further trouble, if there be
‘but earth enough for it to strike root in. It endures‘our
winter much better in such a situation than in the most.
sheltered border of the flower-garden.

The present species 1s only known to us as bearing
flowers in a multiplied state. It is not easy to say in what
respect it differs from Garventa florida (the Cape Jasmine),
except in being of much inferior size. Radicans seldom
exceeds the height of a foot, florida often becomes six or
seven feet high; the leaf in the firstis from one to two inches
long, and seldom more than three parts of an inch over; in
the latter nearly three times that size, of a more oblong
form, and not tapered nearly so far towards the base. The
_ disproportion between the flowers of the two is less; these
in both are of the same coriaceous substance, whiteness,
and delightful fragrance, and in both fade awa, after
nearly a fortnight’s endurance, to a yellow hue. ‘I'he habit
ascribed to the present species, of putting out roots from
the stem aboye ground, and which has suggested the name,
VOL, I, Kes
has not been observed here, except when the plant has been
kept for some time iia peculiarly warm damp situation.
It is plain that this new comer will supersede the
long-standing florida. It is propagated with the greatest
facility, and by management may be made to flower nearly
the year round. When a flower dies, two new branches ap-
pear by the side of its stalk, each of which, if the plant is
continued in the hothouse, will soon produce a flower in its
turn, and so on in succession. But florida is a plant of
more difficult management, flowers only once in the year,
and that far more shily; takes more room, and has no su-
periority in beauty. A cutting of radicans, as soon as it
has taken root, will bear a flower.
The nurserymen generally keep their stock of these plants,
from the autumn till about March, in the greenhouse, and
then plunge them into a common hotbed; by which means
they are presently brought into bloom. Plants so treated
last longer, and continue more healthy, than when kept
constantly in the hothouse, — ~
Much cultivated in China, from whence it was. sent by:
Mr. William Kerr in 1804, to the Court of Directors of the
East India Company, in the Henry Addington, Captain
Kirkpatrick. ;
The drawing was made at the nursery of Messrs. Colville,,
King’s Road, Little Chelsea. Plants of it are now frequent
in all the principal nurseries near London, being most
justly in great request. ;

rally of lighter green and less substantial, and the bloom
odorous. Miller made three species of them, of which the
double variety of odorum constituted one.
The present plant is a straight branching shrub, remind-
ing us of the Osier, seldom exceeding 7-8 feet: stem round,
bark brown: Jeaves firm narrow-lanceolate, 3-6 inches long,
%-1 inch broad, generally in threes :; cymes terminal, many-.
flowered, loose: corolla much multiplied, peach-coloured,
becoming redder when exposed to the open air for any time;
scent resembling that of bitter almonds, or rather the
peruvian Heliotrope, but still more powerful,
Cultivated in the Chelsea physic-garden in 1683; but
had either become very rare or been entirely lost: for, on
the return of an intercourse with France,. plants. of -it
brought from thence were regarded as novelties by our
gardeners, and supposed to be different from those formerly
in the country. But this is a mistake, the present be-
ing certainly the variety cultivated by Miller, as we have
proved both by the description in his dictionary and
the specimen in the Banksian Herbarium. However, this
will not depreciate its worth, since there cannot be a more
desirable plant for our collections. ’
It is known in the West Indies by the name of the South
Sea Rose, and was much cultivated there for ornamental
fences, till having been found noxious to the cattle that)
browzed it, it was confined to 'the garden. Both this and’
Oleander have the reputation of being poisonous.
From size well suited to the border of the conservatory;
will do in the greenhouse, but we have never seen it in
such perfection as in the hothouse, where it will continue
to bloom till winter sets in, Multiplied by cuttings.

When grown in a border of mould, parted off within
the tan-bed of the hothouse, our plant makes each year
a fine display, attaining the length of 30 feet, with nus
merous branches, producing abundance of glossy pink
bloom in separate large bunches. On plants that are left —
to grow in small garden-pots, or are yet young, the
cymes seldom consist of more than five or six flowers,
and these sometimes contracted nearly into the form of an
umbel. But in full-grown plants, which have sufficient
depth of mould, the flowers are from 15 to 20, in a broad
dichotomous cyme. ‘The species comes near to paniculata
(see fol. 62); but the flowers of insignis are generally paler,
“smaller, and more.numerous. The foliage of the two is
very distinct, that of paniculata being always palmate,
while in this it varies from entire, to three-lobed, with
pointed shallow side-lobes, sometimes to 5-7-lobed, but then
sinuately and irregularly so; it is also usually tinged with
violet-red, or purple, beneath. In the leaf of paniculata

A plant very generally native in most of the statés of
America, where’ it ‘goes by several denominations ; such‘as
“ Butterfly-weed,” from being a favourite resort of tlié in-
sects of that tribe; “ Pleurisy or Ache-in-the-side plant,”
from its medicinal virtues, said to be of considerable ac-
tivity ; besides some-others.
The stem-varies in its direction, being sometimés decum-
bent, sometimes nearly upright, and unites in itself, in a
greater or less degree, both the opposite and alternate habit
of foliage ; circumstances not ascertained by its first his-
torians, and which have caused the separation of the two
varieties into as many species. A greater or less proportion
of the upper leaves are always opposite, the rest scattered. -
Mr. Pursh mentioned to us, that he had found it grow-
- ing on mounds of sand which had been gradually accumu+
’ Jated by the wind to a considerable height, having a root
which descended to near two fathom in depth: that in
such situations the stem was decumbent; in sheltered fertile
ones generally upright. The leaves vary from three inches
long and nearly one broad, to very narrow; from oblong,
to lanceolately attenuate, and to linear. The stem from
one to two feet high, or more.
The name of “ Swallow-wort” takes its rise with the
european officinal species (Ascrerras Vincetoxicum) ; and
seems to be a version of Hirundinaria, the denomination
that plant appears under in most of the works of the old
botanists; to whom the name was suggested by a visionary
assimilation of the fruit-vessel with its plumed seed, to a
Swallow on the wing. ; |
Generally raised from imported seed. “Requires to be
placed in a warm, dry, sheltered border of light mould.
When its tuberous root has become large, it does not bear -
transplanting well. Sometimes seeds with us.
Cultivated in 1690 in the garden at Hampton Court.
Blooms from July to September.

The extravagance of the present generic name, its being
accompanied by a specific one little less exaggerated, its
being an adjective, and more worthy of the whim of
a dutch florist than of the taste of Linneus, have pro-
voked several attempts to get rid of it for that of Mrrno-
Nica, an appellation the plant is known by in Malabar.
But we see no defect in any name by which a genus is ge-
nerally and rightly known, of which the inconvenience
cau ever equal that infallibly cansed by the change of it;
VOL. I, xX ;
and prefer the well known denomination to that less known,
altho’ of better taste. :
The plant is singular as well as beautiful. The scarlet
undulate retroverted ascending segments of the corolla, are
likened by Linnzus to so many flames; the style points
horizontally, and appears as if broken at the base and fallen
on its side; the root is a fleshy brittle elongated somewhat
flattened tuber, bent downwards on each side from the
middle into a kind of arch, from the upper part of the,
eentre of which the stem rises; in old plants a catenation
of these forms a structure of very singular appearance.
Monsieur Desfontaines recommends the taking up of these
when the stem decays, and laying them by in the hothouse,
before they are replanted in the spring. The stem is from
six to ten feet high, weak and supported by the hold
that the leaves take of the neighbouring plants, by means of
a spiral tendril growing from their point. The corolla
varies from two to three inches in depth. The plant has the
reputation of being poisonous. Its place in the natural
system is among. the Zilia, near to Eryturonium and
Uvurartia.
Native of the East Indies. Introduced by. Mr. Bentinck,
afterwards Lord Portland, in 1690. We suspect the plant
from Guinea is a distinct species.

The flower of this species has several features which dis-
tinguish it strongly from that of the others‘of the genus in
this work; it is open from the time of its appearance in
the bud-state; the disk of the calyx rises into a cupular

inner rim of its tube; the rays of the outer crown converge
cylindrically round the column; the inmost or operculum is
deflected along the side of the tube towards the bottom
down to the dissepiment, that forms a circle on the inner
wall a little above the base of the colwmn, which has a
slender stipe that elevates the parts it supports beyond the
corolla. ‘The species differs from P. Murucuja chiefly in
having the crown parted into linear stripes, and not of
one connected piece. The upper leaves are remarkable for
encircling the branches which bear them by the lobes that.
form the sinus or indentation at the base, and thus assuming
the perfoliate mien of the upper foliage of certain sorts of
Honeysuckle. The stem we believe seldom exceeds the
length of. ten feet, is villous above, as are the peduncles,
petioles, and even the leaves along the nerves at their under
surface, where they are likewise glaucous and veined.
Native of the West Indies. Found by Dr. Swartz
growing in hedges on parched spots near the sea, on the —
southern side of Jamaica; by Sloane on the waoded

_ The present species, and the quadrangularis already given
in the fourteenth article of this work, are, we suspect, ex-
emplifications of nearly the extremes of size in the flower
of this genus. Probably likewise of the fruit, which in the
one is of the size of a pea; in the other larger than a swan’s
eee.
“In the natural system Passirrora was first assorted
with the Cupparides, or vegetables allied to the Caper-
plant; afterwards more correctly with the Cucurbitacee
or Gourd-tribe. From these, however, it has been since
detached by the present luminary of the science, Pro-
fessor de Jussieu, and forms the foundation of a separate
natural order to which it gives the name. The order
is distinguished from that of the Cucurbitacee, by being
furnished with-stipules, by having stamens and pistil in
the same flower, by a germen detached from the calyx and.
éorolla, by stamens concrete with the stipe or stalk of thé
fruit, by anthers of a quite different conformation, distinct
from each other, and fixed to their filament at the middle:
In the artificial system, the genus had fluctuated between
Gynandria and Pentandria, but is now correctly fixed by
Cavanilles in Monadelphia; the filaments being connate, and
also below the gérmen, not upon it, as in a gynandrous flower.
_ The fruit is a berry of the sort specified by the term pepo;
of which we know no closer equivalent than gourd. In
tlie West Indies it is called by the spanish name of Gra
nadilla, from being full of seed, as in the Granata or Ponie-
granate, . a eer ee ee bis
The species is native of Jamaica, Virginia, Carolina, and
Florida. Will endure our common winters planted at the
foot of a warm wall. The root i8 perennial arid creeping.
The stem herbacéous, diffusely branched; climbing by ten-
drils, seldom exceeding four feet. The foliage varies much
in size, and when young has a minute soft pubescence om
the under surface, as well as the petiole, peduncle, and
bratiches.. The flowers are generally in pairs, and appear
about August.
In the article Passtrtora /olosericea (fol. 59), we havé
in two places termed the dissepiment or partition betweeit
the receptacle of the column and the nectary, by mistake,
“the incomplete operculum or cover:” By operculum thé
immost membranous crown, 4 sort of ruffle that lies over
the nectary, is meant.
The plant was introduced by Catesby in 1714. -
The drawing was made from a specimen with which Mr.
Edwards was favoured by Lady Aylesford, from her col-
lection at Stanmore. :

A species which is very rarely met with in our collec-
tions, and remarkable in the genus for an aggregated sub-
sessile inflorescence, issuing from the bosom of the upper-
most leaf on the stem, separated at the base by small en-
closed spathaceous bractes, and. standing upon very. short
nearly obsolete pedicles. |
Flowers several, an inch and half long, upright, of agreen-
yelp colour. Stem simple, little more than half a foot
high, sheathed the whole length by the lower attenuated
porsign of the leaves; these alternate, distich, patent, ob-
ong, substantial, firm, smooth. A native of. the West
Indies, where it grows on the trunks of trees, sometimes
horizontally, sometimes. perpendicularly downwards, In-
troduced in 1793 by Rear-admiral William Bligh, in the
Providence. :
Professor Jacquin having described in the specific phrase
to difforme the column of the flower as equal to the corolla,
and the /abellum as obcordate; Dr. Swartz has had the
precaution to rename our plant, subjoining Jacquin’s merely
as a probable synonym. Ia his general description, how--
ever, the former will be found to speak of the column, only
as almost equal to the corolla. We have reviewed attentively
what each of them has said of his subject, and inspected
both specimens of their plants in the Banksian Herbarium
(where Jacquin’s indeed is flowerless), and are persuaded of
the specific identity of the two.
The corolla, when full blown, by a contortion of the lower
part of the germen which supports it, is always resupinate,
that is, with the directions of the upper and lower halves
of its plane reversed, as in the european Violets. Germen
together with the short continuous pedicle about an inch
high, cylindrical, tapering downwards, prominently three-
ribbed, unilocular, with three parietal placentiform recep-
tacles, attaching numerous ovula. Corolla superior, five-
parted, segments lanceolate, equal in length, varicosely
nerved, ¢wo inner very narrow and linear. Labellum ( Nectary
Linn.) placed between the two outer lateral segments of the
corolla, which it rather exceeds and differs from in form
and consistence, conjoined for the length of its narrow up-
right turbinately tubular spurless unguis with the column
in front; lamina broad, patent, cordate, rounded, transversely
broader, conspicuously veined, 3-lobed, two Jdateral lobes
large, rounded, descending far down the sides of the column;
middle one small, cleft into two blunt flat lobules; a straight
prominent nerve passes to the apex from the mouth at the
base, on each side of which is placed a raised green-coloured
glandule. Column (or gynandrous style) upon the summit
of the germen, upright, semicylindrical, one third or more
shorter-than the corolla, edge of the summit scarcely raised
beyond the anther. Stamen an anther inserted nearest the
nether side of the summit of the column, lid-shaped, move-
able, deciduous, brown, hemispherical; cedlules 4, parallel,
convergent, standing on the inner front .of the lid-shaped-
receptacle, and immersed in the cavity at the: summit of
the column. Pollen-masses 4, globular, compact, smooth, pa-
rallel, each tailed by a short granulated thread, by which it
becomes fixed to the stigma, when the case of the anther
ee
from a cell of which it has been excreted, falls off. Stigma
concave, fronting the labellum at the top of the column,
close to the anther. Capsule 3-valved, fenestrate, that is,
with lateral openings, its frame remaining connected at
both ends. Seeds numerous, minute, resembling filings;
coated by an aril, pointed at each end.
Requires to be kept in the hothouse ; and will do with the
treatment we have recommended for the other species in
this work.
The drawing was made from a plant which flowered this
autumn in the collection of Mr, Griffin, at South Lambeth.

by asilky plume, is wafted far and near like that of out
thistles, like that attaches itself to whatever it meets in. its
course, and separates at last from the plume which has sus-

‘Native of the Cape of Good Hope; till now, only known
by its specific phrase in Thunberg’s Prodromus. In such of
our gardens into which it has as yet found its way, the
plant has been taken for Bryonta grandis, an East Indian
species; and in consequence treated too tenderly. It will
do in the conservatory and greenhouse; but thrives most
at the foot of a wall with a southern aspect, where its
stems will extend themselves to the distance of 30 or 40
feet, and produce larger and higher coloured bloom.
Root large, fleshy, tapered, nearly as in the common
Bryony of our own hedges. Stems herbaceous, slender,
angular, flexuose, climbing by spiral filiform capillary ten-
drils. eaves: cordate, deeply indented at the base, lower
ones often repandly pentangular with an open petiolar sinus
or hollow, upper ones palmately five-lobed, lobes: oblong, —
outstretched, rounded, and sometimes broader upwards, two
lowermost eared at the base so as to lap over each other and
close the petiolar sinus, when the leaf appears peltate: all are
repandly denticulate, with a mucro or point at the end of
each small tooth, and thickly speckled with small callous
dots which in a dried state often assume a chalky white-
ness. Peduncles set between the petiole and the ten-
dril, shorter than the leaf, commonly in pairs, 1-3 flow-
ered; sometimes we find a third, but which we have not
seen come to perfection with us. lowers of a pinkish buff-
colour, 1-2 inches across. dither, an orange-coloured ob-
late ball, formed by a narrow continuous line winding in
short equal close alternate folds upwards and downwards,

The plants in our collections have produced none but bar-
ren flowers; such as have the stamen only; hence we have
presumed the species to be dicecious, producing the ferdile
flowers, those with the pistil, on a distinct plant.
In Jussieu’s system the genus makes a part of the or-
der Cucurbitacee or Gourd-tribe: an order of which the
genera, fronx imperfect definition and inconnexedly assorted
species, are almost useless, and their revision by a compe-
tent botanist an urgent want in the science.
-Bryonra quingueloba is no where mentioned as a plant ever
known to have been in any european collection; nor can we
say at what period it was introduced. Mr. Edwards received
the branch from which the drawing was made from Lady
Aylesford, by whom the plant was purchased, at the nur-
sery of Messrs. Whitley and Co. in the King’s Road, Par-
son’s Green. oe

The species grows fiaturally in the West Indies, in Vir-
ginia and in Carolina, is sometimes described as herbaceous
and biennial, sometimes as perennial, sometimes as frutes-
cent or shrubby. Botanists have given it a full share of
their attention, but it had been no where exemplified by a
coloured figure. The stem seldom exceeds two feet in height,
generally branched ; leaves pinnate, leaflets five-paired, ac-
cording to Linnaus only three-paired in the maturer plant,
outer pairs gradually larger, each leaflet ovate lanceolate,
rough at the edge; petiole with a single protuberant gland
on the inside of its base: when handled they diffuse a strong
narcotic scent, which in our colonies has acquired the plant
the appellation of “ The Stinking Weed.” ‘
Flowers on the racemes (which are axillary and terminal)
in pairs; corolla concave, veined, of a dullish unspotted
yellow colour; anthers opening by a double orifice at their
summit, from the under margin of which a roundish lami-
nar lobe is projected; fading from a light to a tawny yel-
low. Siigma a dilated termination of the style. of a deep
vivid green colour. Legume or pod, narrow, faleately li-
near, flattened, torose or protuberant where each seed lies,
edged by a narrow pale cartilaginous border,
Upon the authority of a MS note in the Banksian Mu-
seum, written when the Herbarium of that establishment
was collated with the Linnean, we have resolved Cassra
planisiliqua into the present species. Planisiliqua was. first
recorded by Van Royen (or rather by Linnzus under his
name) in a work subsequent to the Hortus Cliffortianus in
which occidentalis first appeared, and had been probably
taken up solely from the figure cited for it from Plumier’s
work. The specimen found under that name in the Lin-
nean Herbarium is an East Indian plant with eight-paired
leaves, and plainly neither that of the description nor of the
synonym.
The drawing was made from a plant raised from seed,
which flowered this autumn in Lady Aylesford’s collection
at Stanmore. :
A hothouse plant cultivated by Philip Miller in 1759.
In Jamaica it is very common, and we are told used by the
negroes as medicine.

Scarcely any diligence can at this day enable us to deter-
mine, so precisely and securely as it were to be desired, the
species Linnus intended by barbadense. ‘The specimen
in his Herbarium being doubtful; the figure cited for it,
from Plukenett’s work, deficient in character; and the
specific phrase too vague for near distinction. The present
plant however is that which has passed traditionally in our
collections for barbadense, and is the one of the Banksian
Herbarium, Hortus Kewensis, Swartz, Willdenow, &c. &c.
_ The species approaching the nearest to it are the East Indian.

religiosum with coloured wool, and the South American
hirsutum with green seed, each distinct from the present,
where the wool is white and the seed black. Yet Dr. Swartz,
after observing the three in their cultivated state in the
colonies of the West Indies, says, that they are with diffi-
culty recognised from each other; and that they vary in so
many and such material points, that he can easily believe
them to be one species. But are not near species of most —
phenogamous vegetables liable, from intermixed culture,
“to run,” as the gardeners say; or, in other words, to be-
come a mixed race? And are not close species which pro- .
duce the staple of a long-standing and extensive commerce,
and have been purposely brought together with the view
of experiment’ and improvement, especially liable to inter-
mixture of race and consequent variation? But can we
adduce as evidence of derivation from a same primary type
intercurrent variations of vegetables so circumstanced ?
The plant with us is perennial, and grows. to the height
of 7-8 feet; the stem dying down every year, after produ-
one seed, if kept constantly in the bark-bed of the hot-
ouse. : Beit
The cotton or wool consists of the fleeces of the seed,
forming a separate ball in each cell of the capsule. When,
picked from the capsule for use, this is freed from the seed
“ by means ofa small mill, consisting of two bright steel
“rollers, each about an inch in diameter, set parallel within
“the distance’ of about the 20th part of an inch. ‘These
“rollers move different ways, and draw the cotton through,
“them, while the seeds ‘are forced out of their respective:
* little balls*of-down “in which they are enclosed.” It is
of inconceivable elasticity; and a large mass, by a compres-
sion familiar to those who pack it for carriage, may be, Te-.
duced within a compass incredibly small. Said to be a dan-
gerous cargo, being subject to take fire if at all damp when
packed, and burning upon admission of air with great fury: _

The Convotvurus hederaceus of the first edition of the
Species Plantarum comprised, as varieties, plants which
constituted the purpureus, Nil, and hederaceus of the second
edition of that work, But still two distinct species are
AAR eS,
found to remain comprised in the synonymy of Ni/; the
present and the one figured in the 188th plate of Curtis’s °
otanical Magazine by that name. And if we were to de-
termine hederaceus and Nil by the synonyms adduced by
_ Linneus, we should be of opinion that they included four
species between them: 1. The asiatic plant; (Curt. bot.
Mag. t. 188. Dill. elth. 96. t. 80, fie. 91.) 2. That from
_ the Coast of Guinea; (Dill. elth. 97. t. 81. fig. 93.) 3. The
South American plant figured in the Flora Peruviana of
Ruiz and Pavon, t. 119. f. a. by the title of Ipoma:a cus-
pidata; (Dill. elth. 99. t. 83. fig. 96.) 4. The one before
us from North America; (Dull. elih. 96. ¢. 8. fig. 92.)
Mr. Brown, in his Prodromus of the Flora of New Hol-
land, according to his view of C. Nil and hederaceus of
Linneus, has reduced them to one species, which he has
transferred to Ipoma@a by the name of hederacea. But Jac-
quin had already enrolled our plant in that genus by the
same appellation, which we have maintained for it in right of
priority; and the rather as Wi is thus vacant for the other.
- In our plant the lateral lobes of the leaves converge to-
wards a broader ventricosely ovate centre one, from which
they are separated by deep contracted sinuses, rounded at
the bottom. In the other the lateral lobes are shorter, and
diverge from the one in the centre, which is lanceolately
ovate, and separated by shallow divaricate sinuses, some-
times obliterated. The tube of the calyx in the present is
clothed with a thick hirsute tawny pubescence; the seg-
ments are long, subulate, and revolutely patent, in the:
other straight and conniyvent, The limb of the corolla is
here rounded, there cornered,
It is seen in perfection only in the very early part of the
day, and is called “ the Morning Glory,” in America.
The seed should be sown. in the spring, with that of other
annuals, and the plants treated like those of the twining
kinds. ‘The species is seldom seen in our gardens, altho’
known in them from the days of Parkinson.

_ A speciesextremely near to the Convotvurus mucronatus,
first recorded by Forster as native of the island of Tanna,
in the South Sea; but afterwards, in his account of the
vegetables collected by himself at the Cape Verd and other
islands in the Atlantic (see Commentationes R. S. S. Gottin-
gensis) as natural to St. Jago. The last place 1s that in-
scribed on his sample, and on his drawing in the Banksian.
Museum, where it is found under the title of acuminatus,
which was changed upon publication, Samples, now pre-
served in the above Museum, have been collected subse-
quently im the same quarter by Sir George Staunton, and
this is, we have no doubt, that whence Forster really brought
the plant, not from Tanna. The species comes likewise near
to the Irom@a pendula of Mr. Brown's Prodromus of the
Flora of New Holland. But independently of difference
in the general port of the plants, the present is distinct,
in having a foliage without any traces of being ciliate; in
having 3-4-flowered peduncles; and by a corolla that is
rather salver- (hypocrateriform) than funnel-shaped (infun- —
dibuliform). The rough tubercled branches of our plant
afford at first sight another distinction. In pendula a woolly
pubescence will be found near the base of the petioles,
which we did not perceive here.
Troma@a tuberculata is a slender twining suffrutescent
plant, attaining the height of five or six feet; native of
the East Indies, where it grows in the hedges; flowers
during the cold season, and is reckoned the most orna-
mental’ of its genus. Stem round, with a brownish bark ;
branches numerous, tubercled, with here and there a tu-
bercle assuming.a spinelike appearance. Leaves smooth,
quinate, 2-3 inches in diameter; leaflets oval-lanceolate,
obtuse;~with a*small point, outer ones generally shorter
and''2-8-cleft, commonly distinct from the rest, and sub-.
petioled: petioles shorter than the leaf, minutely tubercled.,
Peduneles solitary, firm, trichotomously three-flowered, up-
right,shorter'than theleaf, bibracteolate. Calyw thick, of
a deep” ereen colour, two or three times shorter than’ the
cylindrically lengthened faux; outer leaflets rather shorter,
cordate::» Corolla about two inches deep, of a pale violet-.
purple throughout the tubular portion, of. a faint yellow at
the ‘limb ;’ segmients rounded and shallow. Seeds largish,
brown, few, woolly at the angles.
Last spring a packet of seeds arrived from the East
Indies;~sentby Sir Evan Nepean to Messrs. Whitley,
- Milne,’ and’ Brame, nurserymen, King’s Road, Parson's
_ Greeti; among ‘them were those from which the present
plant»was:raised.. These were stated to have been collected
in the-botanic garden‘at Calcutta.
On the transfer of the species from Convorvurus to
Troma, Dr. Roxburgh’s name of digitatus could not be
retained, it being already occupied by another.

The Labiate, to which Monarna belongs, compose one,
of the most obviously signalized symmetrical orders in the;
whole of Jussieu’s System. In that of Linnzus, however,
a portion of these naturally co-ordinate plants, from having
two of the four stamens imperfect, have been excluded
from the Class Didynamia, which comprises the bulk of
them, and in critical strictness included in Diandria; among
these is the present genus. The features which characterize
the genera throughout this natural tribe, are, a monope-
talous bilabiate corolla, four single-seeded germens con-
nected at the base by the style, and fruit which abides
within the persistent calyx. Each fruit consists of four
(from miscarriage sometimes fewer) dry one-seeded peri-
carps, adhering in such manner to the integument of the
seed as not to be discriminated from it. Every such peri-
carp, with its contents had been till recently deemed a
naked seed; but is now included, by Mr. Brown, in the
term cariopsis, appropriated by Monsieur Richard to the
kind.
Punctata is a tolerably hardy perennial plant, native of
North America, where it is found, according to Mr. Pursh,
in sandy fields, in the tract of country which reaches from
New Jersey to Carolina. Its most conspicuous ornament .
consists in the pink bractes, which form the involucre
beneath each whorl of the inflorescence. The yellow co-
rolla, when inspected near, will be found thickly spec-
kled with small resinous dots, and variegated, or rather
marbled, with pink stains. We do not know the exact
height the plant may reach, but have never seen it more
than a foot and ahalf high. The bloom smells like that of
the common Balm; the foliage more like that of Mint.
The teeth of the orifice of the calyx ultimately spread
into a small star. The imperfect stamens are filaments
without anthers. The anthers of the perfect stamens divide
into two vertically divaricate lobes. ‘The style is villose,.
with two simple setiform stigmas of very unequal lengths.

Fairchild. eee

This fine shrub, a native of Cayenne, is not often known to
blossom in our collections. When planted in the ground within
the hothouse, it mounts to a considerable height, and we
have seen it with a tall flexible stem, nearly an inch in
diameter; branched and climbing, as usual with the genus,
by claspers. Leaves broader than long, 4-5 inches over, half

stipules two, opposite, large, parabolical, lanceolate. Pe-

Grows naturally in the island of Madeira, and has been
known in the dutch gardens according to Commelin from
1693, in the english from about 1724. No plant presents
itself more constantly in our greenhouses than this. The
bright lively hue of its evergreen foliage, the fragrance and
long succession of the bloom, render it a favourite with all
gardeners. When planted in the border of a conservatory
it may be trained to the height of 20 feet aud more, and
will frequently ripen its berries, which are about the size,
form, and colour of a small common black cherry. Our
milder winters do not destroy it when planted in a warm
border against a southern wall; and so treated it thrives
better than in any other situation,

ported; branches, peduncles, and calyx bright green. Leaves
ternate, membranous, smooth, with largish cordate acumi-
nate petioled leaflets, of a full shining green, like that
of the foliage of the Orange-Tree, terminal one from an
jnch and half to three inches long. Blossom white, pro-
duced from the axils of the outer foliage and ends of the
branches, in loose trichotomous brachiately disposed pa-
nicles. Calyx tubular, short, minutely 5-toothed. Tube
of the corolla slender, longer than the elliptic-lanceolate
expanded segments.
We have found no coloured representation of this species,
altho’ one so long and generally popular with those who-
amuse themselves in the flower-garden, It is multiplied by
offsets and layers with ease; but is in such general request,
that the nurserymen tell you, that, let their stock of its
plants be ever so large, they never have one too many.
The drawing was made at Mr. Rolls’s nursery, King’s
Road, Little Chelsea. —

A genus established under the present name by Dr.
Swartz. Its species are numerous, and found in the East
Indies, New Holland, and Van Diemen’s Island. The
flowers, after some contestation among botanists in regard
to their structure, are proved to be gynandrous, with two
anthers; but still of a nature that brings them in contact
with the Campanulacee, and not with the Orchidee.
We know of no representation of the present species
taken from the living plant. It was found by Sir Joseph
Banks in New South Wales; afterwards by Mr. Brown in
Van Diemen’s Island. : Root fibrous, perennial. Leaves
radical, ambient, numerous, lanceolate-linear, denticulate.
Scape central, a foot or more high, longer than the foliage,
leafless, simple, round, about as thick as a straw of grass,
-as well as the inflorescence beset throughout with glandular,
hairs (something in the way of Drosrra.) Racemes spiked,
_ upright, numerous; larger bractes ovate, concave, single;
smaller nearer to the germen, double. Cai. superior, per-
sistent, bilabiately parted; upper lip trifid, lower bifid.
Cor. of a dim pink colour, monadelphous, tubular, by a
half-contortion of the tube from facing the lower lip of the
calyx, turned to face one side of the insterstice between
the two lips: ¢wbe longer than the calyx, orifice beset by
4 small bifid teethlike lobules: ¢imb quinquepartite, irreou-:
lar, patent; 4 larger segments obovate, in pairs, one of
each pair somewhat smaller; the fifth or dabellum placed
in front, separated by a deeper fissure, small, deflected
below the divisions of the other four on one side of the
interlabial cleft of the calyx, oblong, with two minute as-
cendent linear lobules one on each side its base, thickened:
and somewhat convex inwards at the disk. Germen obovate,
brownish ; column rising from the summit of this, linear,
longer than the limb, reclined and bent with a double curve,
protruding from the corolla thro’ the gap left by the depres-.,
sion of the labellum, but upon the slightest excitement
beneath the outermost curve, passing with a sudden spring
to the opposite side of ‘the flower, hanging over the limb:
with the stigma pointing downwards. An endowment
apparently given to preserve . the parts intrusted to its.
care from being injured by insects, previous to the com-
pletion of the purpose for which they have been designed.
Anthers two, yellow, incumbent on the plane of the stigma
which crowns the shaft of the column, two-lobed, lobes
from vertical diverging divaricately. Stigma green, obtuse,
entire; at first imperceptible and concealed by the superin-
cumbent anthers; upon their disruption developing itself
by increase of. bulk, prominence, and supervening pu-
bescence. Capsule obovate, bilocular, pubescent, opening
vertically: seeds numerous, small, roundish, fixed at the axis
of a partition parallel with the valves.
Introduced by Mr. P, Good in 1803. <A. greenhouse
plant, flowering most part of the summer. The drawing
was made last year at the nursery of Messis. Lee and
Kennedy, Hammersmith, the only place where we have
met with the species.

NOTES.
Jasminum hirsutum. See article 15.
The figure of this having been taken from a plant during the winter, the
bloom was not expanded to perfection. Hence the corolla has a
concave obtuse form and a contracted mien, which do not belong to
it in the summer. In that season the bloom is convex, acuminate,
and of a much broader appearance; and the new foliage is then
more conspicuously pubescent than the old.
GAZANIA pavonia. See article 35.
The plant spoken of as a hybrid production between the.above species
and GAzANIA 7igens, towards the end of the article we have quoted,
we find has been figured and described by Willdenow, in his Hortus
Berolinensis (p. 97. t. 97), as a distinct species, by the name of
Gorventa heterophylla. It may be so; but we are inclined.
to think it a mule production.
